It may be treatment but also if you have had a long absence from the work environment it can take a while to crank up to the pace - I remember how difficult it was after maternity leave.Also at 39 you could be perimenopausal and that can play havoc with memory.The only real memory issue that has ever worried me was 6 months on statins to lower cholesterol- I thought I had developed dementia but 3 week off them and was back to normal. If you are on hormone therapy like Tamoxifen that may cause memory issues too. As a suggestion I trained myself to carry a notebook and use it so I did not forget things plus I also I make a point of putting things away in the same spot , filing things when they came in - generally being orderly and keeping on top of things helped.I also preferred to come to work a little earlier and leave a little later so that things were organised before I started or left. Finally Fish Oil might help with memory as Might consuming more fish - seems to improve my mental acuity anyway.Hope this helps - I am retired so apart from family pressure my life is a little slower so memory lapses are less intimidating if and when they occur.
