Hi Grace,
You describe my symptoms exactly. I have been struggling to describe the delay in speech. It is particularly terrible at work. I used to have a pretty fast wit and ability to think and speak on my feet. We do a lot of debating at work and I definately notice the difference post treatment. I feel like a different person with more verbal limitations that before trying to do the same job. It is hard.
Debbie,
I too wonder about the AIs. I completed my AC/T in Mar 06 and completed Herceptin in 9/06 and I still am having real noticable (to me) problems. I have suspected the Aromasin. That makes it feel worse actually because then it means this could hang on for 4 more years. And the early menopause seems to potentially play a part too. I am very happy they are doing studies in this area.
Hugs,
Patricia
