Maybe there's hope
My "herceptin brain" started to get better about six weeks after my final herceptin and now, three months later, I am pretty much back to normal. My only problem now is that I have so much to catch up with! If you don't hear from me until February, the sheer amount of work I have to do will be why.
By the way, I learned today that there is a simpler version of the David Allen approach I found helpful (Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work and Life (Paperback)). Iwish I had known about it earlier. I found that on herceptin I had trouble keeping things organized, but Allen definitely helped.
Anyone who is receiving herceptin alone and experiencing this problem should definitely report it. I had chemo (albeit a long time before I had herceptin), but that makes it harder to demonstrate that the problems were caused by the herceptin.
I wonder if this problem is more common in patients who receive herceptin every three weeks, as I did.
