memory loss

Is it just me or have others found that after chemo ,they have bouts of memory loss ? Now it could be just down too my age which i refuse to divulge , needless to say thats a distinct possiblity !!! But in all seriousness not only did the FEC kill the cancer cells but i,m sure it took a few of the brain cells aswell!!!

Hi Dynamite!

I was fortunate enough to not need Chemo, however, since I’ve started taking Tamoxifen, I’m finding my memory is terrible!! My Onc says that it’s a common side effect, I really hate it, makes me feel very old a decrepit! (I’m 45 for heavens sake!!) I am going to buy myself a Nintendo DS lite, and the brain training games, see if that helps to perk up the old grey matter! Best of luck to you!

Sara.
