Lani,

I am glad you are raising the question of anti-hormonal therapy and cognitive function. I had long considered my "fluffiness between my ears" to be exacerbated by the A.I. I am taking. I suspect when someone subdivides the anti-hormonal patients from the other post-chemo patients they will find the cumulative effects of chemo and anti-hormonals to be considerably more affecting.
