Hi! I finished with rads and chemo on Feb. 20th..had an oligo Grade II brain tumor resected in November. 2 Surgeries, then 6 weeks of Temodar and rads. That was a little over 2 months ago...and I am still having a hard time..confusion, depression, etc. I stumbled on to this board and found other people like me! I am trying to work full time and have a normal life...but I get too tired and too depressed and I feel stupid. I have cognitive problems. It is so depressing and frustrating. Most of the time, I fell fine and am happy...but, crap, the bad days can be sooo bad. Thanks for letting me know I am not alone!!!

You are not alone!.. I had leukemia and my treatment consisted of tons of radiation and now I have cognitive, short term, and comprehensive problems. I forget stuff all the time! I was diagnosed at 21 and I am now thirty. Anyhoo... this is a great site... the chat room as awesome! Lots of great friends! Take care and God bless!
