There are many after effects of chemo and radiation. One being sinus issues which can cause inner ear problems. End result if equalibrium being off. Several people here including myself have reported our balance being off since treatments. The attention span has also been mentioned as kinda like being a bit of a zombie. So, maybe these things are playing a part in what you are experiencing. Are you taking any medications that could cause these side effects?
Im sorry to hear about your neice. Very tragic siutation. Does your granddaughter still help out?
Of course, check with the doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
