LOL - that's been my ENTIRE life!
Has absolutely nothing to do with any of my BC treatments - I'm ADD - both of my Sons are also. (Also SAD) Unfortunately, when I was growing up ADD wasn't really known about and then as Sons were first DX'd all the DRs I dealt with insisted that only 'boys' were ever affected and they grew out of it at puberty - WRONG! Finally found a fantastic DR in Bellingham, WA for younger Son. Long story shorter - I had finally found a DR that recognized ADD in me. Over the years since - there have been times I've been on meds and times not on meds (not on now). Early years - Hubby had some hard times with 'it' but after almost 35 years, he just laughs now and knows how to remind me without getting me 'agravated'.

Well here is another funny
Well here is another funny story to laugh at with me. I went to pump gas for the car as my husband has a very bad back and it helps if I do the gas. So we pull up and he hands me his ATM card. I click on pump 5 says insert money or card. Well I put the card in the money slot and it wouldn't go so I just kept pushing until I couldn't pull it out. All the while I see a picture of a dollar and am thinking it looks like an American Express card. What a duffus. Been doing this throughout the radiation but hubby says he remembers me doing some of the same things over the past 45 years. So don't feel alone. We all do those things. Laughs are nice as right now there are fewer of them.
Hugs to You and all,

LOL. I can so relate! They say chemo brain is suppose to get better over time! It's been 9 freakin' years and chmeo brain is still with me! I swear, it was the chemo that killed any normal brain cells I had left! I was never so forgetful and scattered before chemo! LOL.
Oh well, at least we have an excuse! And believe me, I use it often!! LOL

This happens to me too! I can't blame chemo brain since I didn't take chemo. I just call it cancer brain! I think it has killed a few of my brain cells.
