Thanks everyone for this great thread. The info on supplements is fantastic!

I have found that my chemo brain has improved over the years, however not back to the "normal" of before.

On the subject of lost words, for me it was specifically nouns that I lost, proper nouns even more so--verbs, adverbs and adjectives seemed to stick around.
