Chemo-Brain
A friend of ours recently started treatment for breast cancer and she asked me about my experience with "chemo brain". Here's how I described it to her:
"Chemo Brain" is for real! I have trouble recalling simple words or peoples names sometimes. I know exactly what I want to say, I just can't find the words and make them come out of my mouth. I generally feel like a foggy version of my normal self. I'm not as focused or quick with my responses. It seemed worse at first than it does now. I don't know if I've just adjusted to this slower version of myself or if the effects are actually less now.
I guess I'll find out after Chemo is over, we have 7 weeks of treatment left!
