Brain fog.

Hello Bjc‍ 

I had Tamoxifen brain fog for the two years I was on the drug.  Now that I've been switched to Exemestane I'm happy to say the fog is clearing and I feel more like myself, more confident in my thoughts.

What is causing the brain fog you are inquiring about?

Hi Bjc‍ 

I'm glad you posted you are certainly not alone in experiencing brain fog. 

People with cancer can have cognitive problems for many different reasons. These problems may be caused by more than one factor. Here is a complete list of factors: Cognitive problems - Canadian Cancer Society.

What treatment did you have/ or are having?

Chemo and radiation treatments ended 10 months ago. Aggressive cancer in neck lymphnode. Really bad fog some days and seems to be getting worse rather than better. Losing hope.

Bjc‍ ,

I've done a quick search and the most recommended thing for recovery from chemo brain fog is exercise - both mental and physical.

Are you able to get out for a walk on a regular basis?  Maybe you could try meditation or one of the online brain exercise apps like Lumosity.

There is always hope.
