Hello Ladies, I'm sorry to chime in here, but I had to. For what it's worth, I've never had chemo., and I've always been complimented on my excellent memory. I don't have a photographic memory, about 90%, and throughout my life, was always the source for spelling and definitions of words, but within the last six months, I find myself hesitating, sometimes not able to find the right word I want to say, and sometimes the person I'm speaking with will provide the word, and I'll say, "yeah, that's it" and it will be some really common word. I guess what I'm saying is that "our" memory and recall problems may be fundamentally related to stress. Chemotherapy causes stress, and I gotta feeling I've always had low estrogen. Just thought I'd put in my two cents worth.
