  • Anyone who has been through chemotherapy can tell you that chemo drugs don’t just wreak havoc on your hair and stomach -- they can mess with your head, too, leaving you feeling like your brain is stuck in a cloud.
    In this story, patients open up about how chemotherapy affected them leading to mental confusion and fogginess, at times times, feeling “scattered,” hurting their focus and even reducing their vocabulary.

    So glad people have these stories to help them navigate through. Two years ago I went through chemo and radiation and had little truth to guide me. Drs are or seem to be very vague on the peripheral symptoms that the patient experiences. Makes it more difficult unfortunately. Anyone ready this , you will get through this! We the ones who have gone before you LOVE YOU !

    Getting ready for treatment 5 of 6. Chemo brain. So that's it. It has a name. Living alone with nobody really in my life I wondered what was happening to me as I go through this. There are moments. A ship lost at sea feeling. Other times just sea sickness. I hope I can get through this.

    I searched for this video. This is real and I'm finding it challenging at work as an accountant. Challenging to understand things and analyse data and also follow-up with tasks and complete them. I believe that we can overcome this by regular exercise, prayer, healthy diet and enough sleep. Let's overcome this and give God the Glory. Thanks for this video. Cheers

    I am a 50 year old from uk. I had tonsil cancer & had to have chemo/radio. You've just really "got" me with that testimony as the range of emotions was exactly the same as what i experienced. Told your treatment has been successful but that opened up a whole can of worms for me. Didn't believe them at first then allowed a little hope with second all clear which then lead to me completely losing my marbles!!! Then the realization that after a year & a half later you cant remember anything or have the mind you had. But after all said & done im not moaning im alive & leading a normal life & very lucky but its nice that the after effects of these yreatments is being discussed because its not a case of the cancers gone everything is ok now you do have to live with some major side effects. Thankyou for that. It was nice to hear someone explain exactly what i experienced to.
