Cognitive Rehabilitation

[michka]

Hello Rhonda. Cognitive issues make us feel so miserable. (And doctors should listen to their patients and not think depression at first). Are you still taking Tamoxifen or another anti hormonal?
A few years back I started to have cognitive problems and it got to a point where I could hear my husband talking to me but I did not understand the meaning of his words. I would just start crying and ask him to stop talking. It was really frightening. I was wondering what was happening and thinking of a brain tumor. I called my onc and he said "stop Aromasin right away". I had been taking it for almost a year.
All my cognitive issues then disappeared. He put me on Faslodex after a break.
Of course I do not know if your "chemo brain" is linked to your initial treatment or to an antihormonal or something else. It is just to let you know it can happen because Estrogen is important for our brain.
I hope things will improve with time and rest. I am happy you were able to write about it and share your feelings with us. Stay strong.
