Hi @FiFiK
I finished my chemo in late May and I finished radiation in mid July. I've had some level of brain fog throughout. But I am finding it's getting better gradually over time. My long term memory is fine, I can remember names of people I haven't seen for over 30 years. The residual brain fog seems to effect my short term memory. The other day I tried to put the margarine in the dishwasher instead of the fridge! I do lots of stupid things like that still..... but it's getting better thankfully! I'm on hormone therapy now so not sure if that's causing any brain fog issues 🤔 I am now a list writer and do other things to try and help me remember things! I recall my oncologist saying that the brain fog usually goes away a few months post treatment. I hope that helps & best wishes for your treatment.
