Summary

This study looks at whether taking daily supplements like probiotics and prebiotics can help prevent memory and thinking problems (often called chemobrain) in people with breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. About 80 participants will take either a supplement or nothing for 4 months and complete memory tests and provide blood and stool samples. The goal is to see if these supplements reduce inflammation and protect brain function during treatment.
