Hi,
Great point about sharing about this frustrating side effect. Have found it terrible since I already have brain fog from another disease! This time am having difficulty with destinations.....tried to tell my hubby where our daughter was meeting friends for dinner in a different town, but it kept coming out Petland! Also having trouble following plot lines on tv and in books.
Maybe some others will share now a little.

I have always been the manager in my home. Never was late on my rent or utilities. Since chemo and radiation, my gas, water and cable gets cut off all the time. I can't think to finish sentences. I can't remember simple words in my conversations!
My husband was having a conversation last night about hitting a deer, and I called him in the room to ask him what a deer was!!! I knew I should have knew this.
I've always kept things together and moving in our house, now, things are falling apart! I have this constant swishing sound going through my head and can't hear a lot of things being said.
I thought at first it was something that would just go away in time, but now, I am beginning to get scared.
Chemo and radiation got rid of the cancer and took my mind with it. My family thinks I am going crazy and so do I
My doctor even looks at me like I'm crazy, so I don't know where to turn for help.
Maybe that's just it, I have lost it!
