Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to learn more about how chemotherapy affects an individuals thinking abilities cognition Some research has shown that chemotherapy can cause changes in cognition in breast cancer survivors However it is not clear why this change occurs In this study the investigators will look to see if damage to DNA is related to these changes in cognition Specifically the investigators want to see 1 if women who have been treated with chemotherapy have more DNA damage than healthy women and 2 if DNA damage is related to cognitive problems in breast cancer survivors and healthy women
Detailed Description: The primary objective of this proposal is to obtain preliminary data regarding the association between DNA damage and cognitive functioning in breast cancer survivors Specifically we predict that

1 Breast cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy and hormonal therapy will have higher levels of DNA damage as measured by the Comet assay as compared to age and education matched survivors treated with hormonal therapy only and healthy controls
2 Survivors who meet criteria for cognitive impairment will have higher levels of DNA damage as compared to cancer survivors who do not meet criteria for cognitive impairment and healthy controls
