I know we are all different....BUT, just wanted to say that after a year out of chemo.... the fog is lifting. I really noticed it this week all of a sudden!!!! So, I wanted to share this for those of you in 'the chemo-brain fog'..... it may pass, it just takes time.
Today is my hubby & my 41st anniversary........ I am so lucky to have a loving and patient guy who has stood by me through so much. I wish you all some peace today and send out hugs to everyone.

So glad you are doing better you crawled and you did it!!!

    My chemo fog is lifting too.
    My chemo fog is lifting too. I was having trouble struggling with words, my mind knew what I was trying to say but the right words wouldn't come out. Most of my friends know I've never had that problem before. LOL But I'm still not good with remembering names, never was, so I guess I'll still not be able to remember names when the fog is totally gone.
    Wishing you and hubby a great anniversary. Congratulations!

    Glad to hear that the Chemo Fog disappears
    I am so happy to hear that the Chemo Fog dissipates. That is one of the best things that I have learned on this board. Great that you posted it because it will give hope to others who are still experiencing it.

    Yes, you are lucky to have a loving and patient guy who stood by you. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed. My husband also stood by me. This September it will be 49 years of married bliss.

    Lots of Hugs,
    Janelle

    Glad your fog has lifted! And happy anniversary! Right now my fog is like pea soup. Missplace things, bad spelling, etc.
