Now I have to admit that my brain was always going in many directions before chemo but for almost 2 years after, I was a mess. I couldn't focus, concentrate, had trouble finishing sentences and had trouble helping my daughter do 4th grade match. I am better now, back to normal. It was so frustrating and I wasn't trying to do anything challenging. Tell her to be kind to herself and realize that she's not to fault for this, it will pass...sherryg
