Side Effects - Chemo Brain

3-19-05

Chemo brain is real. Not sure if it is the chemo drugs, the anti nausea medication, the Benadryl or the combination of it all. Sometimes forming words or sentences is hard, remembering where things are or what you were doing get harder by the treatments. It is really frustrating

Also the physical limitations gets harder. I was moving furniture when I was pregnant and now I can’t open a jar, walking up and down stairs I get winded and my legs hurt,

Starting to have trouble with taste and bit of sore mouth.

Everyone says its just a pause in your life but really it isn’t. it is really hard to explain because life doesn’t stop. Life continues. Kids continue to grow, things continue to happen around you. Life doesn’t pause.
