Memory loss!


Well, at christmas time, I had to go outside my door to see my house number because I could not remember. I got myself a purse that a string for the car key so I could not leave them somewhere. I could not remember the letter "e" in the alphabet even if I sang the song

Under herceptin only, I still lose track of what I'm saying. I can't remember names, except a few days later, when I'm not even thinking about it, it pops up. When I speak I say words that I did not even intend to say and are not even realted to the conversation.

A couple of professors at USC in California wrote a recent book on memory and I am planning on writing to them and encourage them to do research on this memory loss with chemo patients. Every tiny bit helps, right?

I'm also doing Sudoku puzzles to help me concentrate. I have lost my concentration span also. I can't believe it's me, when I was working 10 hours days, totally focused on work. Go figure.

XO to all
