Hi Sherry
I think, as Flori said, it is a combination of everything we've
faced during this "adventure". For me, the memory issues started
during chemo but it continues on now. I had to remind
myself that Herceptin still had side effects even though it was
a cake-walk compared to the chemo drugs. Now I am short on
estrogen which also affects memory. And, I often have a
cluttered mind - sometimes I forget things, sometimes I back
my truck into the garage door - I chalk it up to the whole
package - chemo, herceptin, arimidex, menopause and stress.
There's probably something else but I forget!
