memory loss
Sherry,
I am sorry you are being plagued with chronic loss of memory this far out due to treatment. It hits me when I least expect it, when I think I'm getting better, and that is especially disappointing. Last week I made out 4 bank deposit slips at the customer counter, and it wasn't until I was at the grocery store that I realized I had left the checkbook itself on the counter at the bank. Luckily, it was a pretty dead hour for customers there and it was on the counter where I'd left it, with no checks missing. I have absolutely no reliable method for avoiding those kinds of blips on my screen, and I'm 6+ years out on NO Herceptin.
It reminds me of when I was considering treatment and asked my oncologist what the effect of the drugs was on the brain. He said that in 20 years he had only had about 5 patients who were totally incapacitated by it. (TRUE story. So... what about all the rest of us?)
With complete sympathy,
AlaskaAngel
