My chemo brain

Hi ladies I too blame stress for my BC diagnosis after a very unexpected marriage break up just under two years before my diagnosis. I worked full time as a preschool teacher with 30 3 to 5 year olds and also worked many weekends at a local football stadium for over 10 years. I was desperate to return to my job after having no choice but to stop work due to the infection risk whilst having treatment as I love it but things have certainly changed. Just on a year since treatment finished and chemo brain is very real for me. Often in the middle of the day after being at work since 6am I look at a child to talk to them and can't remember their name for a moment or mid sentence doing a group I can't remember where the hell I was going with my talk. Lucky for me the kids are young and if they notice they just giggle and say you're silly Melinda My own children are very accepting though we do have a laugh together at times. I can no longer cook the nights meal if it consists of many parts or we end up sitting down to eat and I forget the potato bake in the oven or veges in the microwave etc Cleaning the house is a nightmare as I find how to get started overwhelming. I remember one day my daughter came home and I had been trying to do housework and had no clue about the order etc I needed to do things in and I broke down in tears. I got a cleaner in soon after but I felt guilty and really can't afford it. Mich I bet you can't wait for me to visit you soon. We probably won't remember what if is we planned to do lol
