I still have memory problems, too. It is certainly better than the year or two right after chemo, which was really bad. Sometimes I wasn't certain how to get around my small community of 2,700 people and I've lived here all my life. I had to really try to focus on whatever the task at hand was, to be sure I was doing it correctly.

As time went on I got better, but I still have what I like to call "deleted files." Some things are just absolutely gone. I have trouble with words, names, numbers, and the order of letters within a word. I often write the incorrect sequence of letters within the written word (mostly when typing). It's been 5 years since I finished chemo.

I write absolutely everything down that is important to remember. I start each day with a list. As far as taking meds, I use the daily pill boxes,(I like the weekly version) so I can see what I have taken, otherwise I most certainly would be confused on that, too.

Still counting my blessings, though....
