Hi @Bowie2015, I also have become one of the memory impaired due to Tamoxifen. I asked my oncologist about the lack of memory and she advised (like @kezmusc) getting onto the mobile phone app called Elevate. It is a brain training app that has numerous puzzles and you complete them each day - takes less than 5 minutes and I have found it has made a huge difference. I no longer walk into a room to get something, get there and can't remember what it was I was looking for, leave room and then repeat x 16!!! I have just completed some study and whilst I did remember some things I had definitions that had to be verbatim and had to write lines (like the old punishment from school) so that I remembered them - thankfully I passed but honestly brainwise compared to where I was this time last year - I now feel like a genius!!! Bwahahahaha OK maybe not, but a whole lot better!! All the best, hope yours gets back to a normal you feel comfortable with and can cope with. It is incredibly frustrating. Xx Cath
