Re: Chemo-brain
Suzan, you are the only person I have known to speak of dyslexic symptoms. It is good to hear that this is not unique to me.
Early on after chemo, dyslexic events were very very frequent. I didn't reverse or turn around the letter itself, but I put the letters in wrong sequence. This was most noticable when writing, and has improved in time. I still do this when typing. It is best if I type with my eyes closed (which I don't usually do!) because when I watch, I make many mistakes in sequence of letters. I sometimes make verbal reverses as well, which happened just yesterday, again.
