One year on in the memories, I shared just one of my chemo dose days again. One comment from a male friend was, 'brutal'. I think he got the idea and hopefully if any of his close friends or family has to go through it, he will be very supportive to them.
Thank goodness you touched on the brain to mush thing as I thought I must have had a stroke or some darned thing. I seem to have lost the capacity to learn anything since cancer treatment. All phone numbers I knew before then, I still have memory of if I think about it a bit but I cannot for the life of me remember a sequence of numbers now, no matter how many times I try. A bonus of this is I can watch a dvd movie or series and in a few months not remember it, so I get to watch it like a new one again lol.
