I keep blaming my forgetfulness and inability to think, write, or speak quickly on chemo induced menopause. I know what I want to say, but can't get the words to come out right!

Some days I feel like I can barely function mentally and I haven't had chemo since Jan. 19 although I still have the every 3 week Herceptin.

I have to concentrate quite hard even to type these words and still have to go back to correct typos.

My onc says she's never heard of this phenomenon as a side effect of Herceptin and lays it at the feet of chemo. So how long does chemo brain last? I can't help but feel Herceptin has some part to play in this, but how?
