Good morning, @rhongirl Rest assured you’re not losing your mind. ☺️. It’s called brain fog and it’s a real thing. Most of us who have gone through rigorous chemo experience the side effect of cognitive impairment and find ourselves searching for words, staying focused, being forgetful, etc.

There’s a discussion related to brain fog in our forum. Here’s the link where you’ll meet others such as @roch, @auntieoakley, @gingerw and many other members who’ve dealt with this.

Cancer Related Brain Fog: How do you cope with it?

When if first happened to me, I had no idea it was ‘normal’ either. It really caught me off guard when I wouldn’t be able to find simple words, little things like that. My daughter was the one who told me about Brain fog. She’d been talking with her friends after they’d asked how I was fairing with the leukemia. One of her friends is a doctor and asked how I was managing with Brain Fog? That was such a relief to know this is pretty common. Made it a lot easier to brush off those ‘senior moments’ that I wasn’t ready to have yet! 😅 Three years later, I’d like to say I’m 100% improved but I still have little moments of searching for the right word, but then, I’m no longer a spring chicken, as my husband tells me.

How long ago was your chemo?
