Revised list of difficulties that cancer patients might experience to include difficulty multitasking—must focus on one thing at a time; difficulty remembering common words and recalling names; and difficulty finding words.
Revised list of potential contributing factors for cognitive impairment to include age; frailty (cited 2014 Mandelblatt et al. as reference 2 and 2016 Mandelblatt et al. as reference 3); and emotional distress and/or depressive symptoms and anxiety.
Added Bray et al. as reference 13.
Revised text to state that a review of mindfulness-based stress reduction studies in cancer patients found only two randomized trials with positive results, despite a small same size (cited Johns et al. as reference 28).
