Gail and Cindy,

I ran into an issue with this "chemo brain". I found that I could not even read a newspaper without losing my concentration. Couldn't keep a thought straight. Reallly didn't have very much of a memory loss, but had some to a lesser extent. My M.O. gave me some "mind exercises" to do after discussing this with her. They were basic memory skill games and the like. Basic math problems, etc. I found them to be somewhat difficult at first. As I did them they eventually became easier. When I was going though chemo, there was a pamphlet with information in regards to Chemo brain. Don't be afraid to ask about it. It is very real.

Good luck,

John
