I think adaptation and time will help. writing things down and making things more routine. I still forget names and words especially when I am tired or stressed, but it has gotten so much better a million times better. I think doing puzzles, etc... can help. making sure you rest, decreasing stress.
I don't have chemo brain, but, I blame anything I do wrong on Cancer Brain! It kind of works. LOL0 -

When I get tired, like tonight at work, I asked for a banana when I wanted a brownie.
There were no bananas there and everyone laughed.
Before chemo only when I got really tired I'd lapse into writing backwards. Now, it's really difficult sometimes to write normal. I've had a 12.1 reading grade average since the first grade. And yep, I'm left-handed! Also, I seem to forget entire chunks of recent memory sometimes. Like already put the laundry into dryer but forgot that I did.
You are so not alone!0
