No title, can't remember the words!

Oh boy, am I glad to see this thread! I finished chemo almost nine months ago. I don't remember having much chemo brain, but now the "lost word thing" is driving me crazy! I do remember seeing a brochure for a survivor's convention that had a session called "Why is my purse in the freezer?", and that was about chemo brain. But now, after 10 months on Herceptin and 6 on Arimidex I am a complete airhead. I stop in the middle of sentences and say stupid stuff like "I just lost a word". Christine's story about forgetting "milk bottle", I get it. I can also relate to the "lost time" syndrome. Was it yesterday or 3 months ago? Weird stuff isn't it? I have no idea weather it is Herceptin or lack of the big E. I had the ooph at 44 so that I could take Arimidex, so after the chemo forced me into menopause I pretty much stayed there. I am so thankful for you all, helping me to see that I am not alone and finding some humor in it all.

God Bless,
