Chemo brain meltdown

Well ... I just had to vent ... it was either that or have a complete emotional breakdown here at the computer.
Thanks for being there ... I feel a little better already ... just knowing I'm not going crazy and that I am not alone.
love you all
hugs.

Hang on ..........
It must be so frustrating.......I just had my second infusion on Monday.........I already have chemo brain...but honestly, I think I had it before this beast made it's self known....but now at least, I have an excuse! And trust me I am using it........I heard a woman who is a 16 year BC survivor leading a support group say.........."USE THIS BEAST! If there's something you don't want to do, say "I Had cancer, I can't do that......." "I had chemo......it clouds your thoughts..........I can't do this........" "I can't take my groceries to the car, I had cancer"........She said after 16 years she's still using this.....works everytime she said! SHE SAID..........."USE IT!"0 -
Oh Teena... I'm so sorry
Oh Teena... I'm so sorry that you are having a bad day!! Hang in there... sending cyber hugs your way... at least you have an excuse... my brain hasn't been functionable lately either.. but I don't have any excuses... I work with numbers all day too... it took me three extra days to close the companies books this month... I kept forgetting things and what I was in the middle of.... at least you have a valid excuse....
Hugs to you my friend!!

I am so sorry Teena that you are having a bad day. I hope it is better
now, or, that you have left work and are at home relaxing. I never had chemo, so, I can't
blame anything on that, but, I do blame most stuff anymore on rad brain. Yes, that is my
excuse and I am sticking to it! Take care Teena!

As is... Surgery Brain, Mammo Brain, Scan Brain, Biopsy Brain, etc. ...
It's all the same CRAP - Breast Cancer Brain!

I'm going with "Cancer" brain!! The only problem is my husband doesn't think this is a valid excuse because, according to him, I haven't had cancer ALL my life with him. He just had to bring technicalities into it! So I told him prior to cancer it was....blond moments!! (quick thinking, huh?)
Hope your day got better!!Pammy

Feeling much better ...Alexis F said:You feeling better Teena?
You feeling better Teena? Hope so!
I'm feeling much better ... and thanks to all of you and your kind words of encouragement. That's what got me through that extremely frustrating day. I honestly think that if I hadn't had this place to vent ... I probably would have had a total breakdown at my desk. But ... you all came to my rescue and I made it.
Can't say that my brain is working any better ... but at least I got through that tedious project I was working on and hopefully won't have to got through anything that detailed for quite awhile.
Thanks again to all of you who were there for me when I needed you most.
hugs.

So glad that you are feeling better Teena! We are all here to encourage and support one another! And, when one has a bad day, this is a good place to come to vent!0
