I was an extremely healthy 1/2 marathon runner and since chemo in 2013 can't seem to get back to any level of fitness. I'm wondering if there is a successful treatment for the mental side that we'd all need to get back to our old selves. I truly don't think old age hits in less than two years. I work in a HIGHLY technical field (cancer research and drug development) and keep thinking 'what can I bring to help things along". It's frustrating, I'm suffering with everyone, while working in a field to cure this disease.

If anyone has some great tips for staying on top of job tasks, I'd love to hear from you. I couldn't find my car in a shopping center tonight and it's been over a year and I'm just 50. Feel like I need to be tested for dimentia.
