- - Chemo brain (https://her2support.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=31987)

I just wanted to share a funny story about a "chemo brain" moment I had when going through chemo. It came to me this morning while sitting at a stop sign where the "chemo" moment happened over 2 years ago. I thought my funny story would be uplifting and possibly ease the stress of treatment for many.

While going through chemo I was sitting at a 4 way stop. One block ahead there was a stoplight. I sat at the 4 way stop waiting for the light to turn green one block away. As I sat their cars starting lining up behind me. A few beeped and I'm like "what is your problem...........the light hasn't turned green yet." OH MY GOSH, how embarrassed I was to realize that I wasn't sitting at a stoplight but a stopsign. The stoplight was way ahead. Hahahahahaha!

Well, it does get better those of you beginning treatment and experiencing wierd things. I am now 2 years 5 months out and although I still do wierd things (just my nature I guess) I haven't done that again.

Stay happy - keep smiling - stay strong and know you are LOVED.

One Day I Was Driving To My Boyfriends House And I Guess I Was Having A "Chemo Brain Moment", I Passed His Street And Continued A Few More Blocks And Turned Onto A Street Where My Friend Linda Lives. As I Pulled In Front Of Her House, It Hit Me---What Am I Doing Here. I Drove Back To My Boyfriends And He Was Wondering What Had Took Me So Long. I Just Made Some Excuse And Never Did Tell Him.

Those are so good. My worse one was not being able to remember what an airplane was, and even argued that wasn't what it was called when somebody told me.
