Bye-Bye, Chemo Brain!
Best of all, the chemo brain that descended on me five years ago, fogging my sharp mind, has started to dissipate. I go longer and longer stretches without having to look up my own number in the phone book, or consult a thesaurus for the vocabulary that used to come so effortlessly. The words are coming back to me–-not effortlessly, but they’re there, appearing out of that same fog into which they disappeared after chemo.
Change happens. Time heals. If you’ve given up believing you’ll ever feel better… don’t. Whatever’s bothering you, call your doctor and see if there’s anything you can try, maybe something that wasn’t available when the issue first appeared. Most important of all, believe that sooner or later, you WILL feel better. Positive change often happens more slowly than we’d like, but time heals, it truly does. Believe it.
