Chemo Brain

I just bought a t-shirt that says "I Have Chemo Brain - What's Your Excuse?" For anyone that has any experience with chemo, either as a patient or caregiver, they know what that means. For the rest of you chemo brain refers to what happens to we unfortunates that have to undergo chemotherapy. Chemo has a tendency to whack out our brains lol. We frequently have short term memory loss. I think I referred to it in a previous post. Ask me about something 20 years ago and I will probably remember. Ask me about something 15 minutes ago and you might get a blank stare from me. That happens alot to me also. My wife will ask me what I am thinking about and doesn't believe me when I tell her nothing. I am just staring into space like I am brain dead. I have at least one more round of chemo after the one next week. People have told me that things will improve once I can stop taking chemo. I guess time will tell on that. I am certainly looking forward to a life without chemo, at least for awhile. I do not like being addle minded and feeling like I have no energy. Cancer sucks but anything that I have to do to remain alive will be worthwhile.

Please post a comment about any experiences you have had concerning cancer. Take care and God Bless.
