Hi @alpacaattack (love the username), first I want to let you know that there is also a support group for young adults here too:
- Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/adolescent-young-adult-aya-cancer/
I'm disappointed (and frustrated) that you feel brushed off by your doctors, since cognitive impairment and brain fog are well-accepted short and longterm effects of some chemotherapy. The cognitive effects of newer immunotherapies may still be underestimated. This should not be dismissed. Have you talked to a symptom management oncology nurse or oncology social worker about it?
Others are talking about it here:

Did you have treatment for primary lung cancer or was it for metastasis to the lungs?
