I’ve heard of chemo brain before. Last time I had chemo I experienced a loss of memory or really not so much loss as the ability to remember things especially short term. It’s happening again.
Here are a few examples people call chemo brain I found on a website:
- forgetting things that they usually have no trouble recalling; memory lapses
- trouble concentrating; they can't focus on what they're doing
- trouble remembering details like names, dates, and sometimes larger events
- trouble multi-tasking, like answering the phone while cooking, without losing track of one of them; less ability to do more than one thing at a time
- taking longer to finish things; slower thinking and processing
- trouble remembering common words; can't finish a sentence because you can't find the right words
I have no trouble focusing. If anything I get over focused on what I am doing. I associate that with the Predisone. My favorite question is waking up and asking Eunice, "This is Thursday, right"? Then I know what day it is. It's a good start. I don't do it every day but more often than you might believe.
I've created a list to make sure I take my medications. I check them off so I know whether I have taken them or not. This includes my Lantis insulin which I have forgotten twice. Also the NPH I take with the Prednisone which I also forgot once. OK, I forgot my Coreg at night once too. So the list helps.
Chemo Brain. Google it and see what you find.
I can remember what I had for dinner last night, Fish Tacos. They were very good.

Fish Taocs: I was skeptical at first but no more. Everyone enjoyed them.

I've been wanting to make fish tacos for months now. Tyler and Kaylin wrinkle their face at the mention of it. Now that you've given them the "thumbs up", I'm definitely going to try your recipe. Thanks, David!
