I did not have chemo but did have Herceptin and am on an AI. I have had problems that pre-date treatment, but which have noticeably worsened since, with remembering nouns and proper nouns. I attribute it to lack of estrogen. When it happens during conversation, I end up doing convoluted descriptions of people or things until someone supplies the correct word for me. I usually preface the descriptions with, "I'm sorry, I don't have my words today," and just go on. My SO is reasonably good with providing the names of people and places; for the others, I just have to muddle along. I find the terms often come to me a little later - stress (even the stress of looking silly in conversation) makes the sought after term fly even farther away from my consciousness. When I relax, my mind works much more normally (well, normally for ME, anyway
).
Hopeful
