This a good article about chemo-brain in young people. My thoughts...

It's good that this is being further investigated. Going back to school after chemo was so weird and awkward. I could memorize my lines in seconds but my attention span in class was almost non-existent and I could not keep track of appointments and other things. With all of that + severe depression I was a total mess! Even on Tamoxifen I was still in a fog, like my brain had shrunk or partially melted and was soaking in some sort of liquid or melted brain sludge that distorted all incoming and outgoing information. I always told people that all the roads in my brain were re-routed. It's only been the past 4 months of detox (no tamoxifen!!!) that I can focus and feel clearer- even clearer than before I had cancer!
