Thanks Jen, I spend a lot of time wondering why I went to a specific room. I usually figure it out so I guess that's OK. BB

It's nice to see an article like that as many of the medical folks dont seem too anxious to admit that that particular side affect can last once you have completed chemo. I seriously feel like I know somewhat what a person with dementia feels like.

I wonder if thid applies to thoe of us who only received herceptain - those symptoms sounds awfully familiar.

Saw this on the news last night and feel validated.

Thanks Jen...wonder of the chemo-brain syndrome is worsened with the addition of the herceptin factor??? I sure think so, as I started experiencing the "symptoms" about a month into Herceptin treatments... interesting!!
