My dad would always play a game where we would go into a store, look at the prices of things, round up, and then see how close we were to the actual total when we checked out. If we- and it was rare- went to a McDonalds whoever could listen to everyone's order and put it in a comprehensible list for the cashier, could go with him to place the order. I still do those things- just weird little- remembering you Dad moments- throughout my week. To not be able to remember things, or do mental math- really made me down. But it gets better, hang in there. Hugs!

At home, it is easier to laugh it off, and we should! I would totally forget what I came into a room for, or remember I wanted 3 things, but could only remember 2- leave, and then have to return. I would just tell myself that it's God's way of making sure I got my steps in!

At work it is harder, especially with deadlines, and working in a team situation, no one wants to feel like they are not carrying their weight. It's ok, my work family was surprised to see me writing down the steps to work with a new program- but I explained, that the meds can sometimes mess with my short-term memory, and I want to be prepared if I have one of those moments- or days! They were all super supportive.

I have the same pr5blem and just laugh it off. Give yourself a break your body has and is, going through a weird time.

No, the only advice I was given was to
-Continue to get rest, eat well, hydrate. As lacking any of this effects anyone=chemo patient or not.
-Continue to do things you enjoy, as being stressed adds to the issue.
-Use meditation ,yoga, etc.to allow your brain some purposeful down time.
-Be aware, that often chemo fog can lead to depression because we get overwhelmed and frustrated at this very obvious (to us, anyway!) change in our abilities.
-Give yourself grace, this is manageable, and temporary.
Hugs!

Thank you that helps. Were you told that there are certain foods to help this. I hear different things like eat brain food, but it’s non chemo/non cancer patients that suggest it.
