sorry to hear about your problems

and I think you have every right to moan as it is seriously affecting your life.
I think I can relate to it to a point. Me too, have just finished herceptin and was on taxol at some point during last year (I also had tykerb and FEC).
I have dizzy spells too, never serious, but often a feeling of being lightheaded and not quite in the same room as others..I hope you understand what I mean.
Also definitely, feel a lot more forgetful and disorganised tha I was before. I don't have much to compare it with as I haven't worked in about 4 years, and only recently started again, part/time, but sometimes even finding my way around town I make silly mistakes and I have always ahd a good sense of directions. I do find it difficult to recognise myself as I once used to do a fairly stressful job too. But, because I have had such a big gap, and 2 children in between I have often put it down to motherhood and generally getting older (even though I'm only 37). Maybe it is something to do with the chemo...

I also ahve the vision problems you describe, but very rarely, maybe once every 6 weeks I'd say, I don't remember experiencing anything like this before, but then again, I was never so tuned in to what my body felt as I am now!

I don't know if this is any help to you, I hope it is in some way. And I hope someone can help you further

best of luck
