Chemo brain is slowly watching your cognition decrease and thinking there are things you can do to stop it. Chemo brain is the character Charlie from Flowers for Algernon.
Chemo brain is 30lbs of potatoes in the house because you keep forgetting you already bought some.
Chemo brain is losing the ability to put together an outfit and going to work dressed like a preschooler who insisted on picking out her own clothes.
Chemo brain is celebrating, and I mean hardcore celebrating, when you remember to follow through on something.
Chemo brain is starting this blog and then forgetting you've done it...
On March 20 I went for my regularly scheduled weekly Taxol. When I went back a week later for my next dose the doctor decided to hold off a week to give my side effects a chance to settle down. A week after that it was decided that we would quit altogether. I finished chemo without even realizing it. It's f*cking terrifying.
