Chemo Brain

Hi Janice! Congrats on the 5 years! I hope you find some relief for the chemo-brain. I seem to recall MJO, I think, made a post recently about sleep deprivation and chemo-brain. Just thought I'd throw that in if you are having any sleep-related issues. Good Luck!

I was just going to post when I read Bill's message. I was very concerned about cognitive trouble -- chemobrain. Saw a neurologist , tried Ritalin. Then I went off Femara for one month due to some liver trouble, started sleeping through the night and felt alert and sharp. Back on Femara, I'm not sleeping as well and I don't feel as sharp. So I've concluded a big part of my problem is sleep deprivation. I'm not giving up Femara, so I will have to adjust. THat's my experience only.
