I had no idea either, and this explains what has happened to my supervisor. *sigh* :-(

There are a lot of doctors who don’t believe chemo-brain exists, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who’s been through chemo that doubts it. I don’t think it affected my mom as much as it does others, but Mom would sometimes have trouble thiinking of the words she wanted well before she got cancer.

It's awful. My mother-in-law is going through it now, and although she's still relatively okay, it's a huge concern. She's 77, after all. I don't even like to think about it.

Also, just proof that it (and radiation) are so poisonous: pinkdegas and I just lost one of our aunts. She'd been free of the cancer for a year, but the affects of the treatment ultimately killed her.

Well, this is the most depressing comment I think I've ever left for anyone! :P

I never knew that about chemo…but it makes perfect sense. People like her are reminder to appreciate what we have.
