Loosing my mind
My breast care nurse tells me it is normal to be a bit forgetful and I will return to normal after treatment. This is getting ridiculous I forget I have a tap running if I turn away from it! I can no...
Hi Kim
yep chemo brain definitely exists. I worked part time throughout my 16 months of treatment. I wrote EVERYTHING down. To this day, I even make a list of my housework that needs to be done or I forget what I have to do. I could not have survived at work if it wasn't for my diary and my notes. I would quite often forget what I was saying or I just couldn't get the words out. Now when I can't think of what I want to say, I just say "camel". It's as good a word as any.
