    • I’m With You

      From srvivr August 14, 2008

      I am 3 years post "chemo-brain" and as long as I am not tired I am OK. During chemo I had trouble with people's names that I knew well before. The chemo-brain is real. Rest when you feel that your mind is weak and listen to relaxation music. You simply don't have focus. It's probably temporary and Paychological. You have a lot on your mind. Let go and take it slow!

      A tiny car drives up and stops. Twenty clowns crawl out and then Happy Hippy steps out, throwing confetti and glitter all over. She hands you a bunch of helium balloons to lift you above your pain today. She also has a big smile and lots of hugs for you too!
