What is “chemo brain”?
A considerable number of patients report fatigue or non-specific neurocognitive problems, such as an inability to concentrate, “walking around in a fog”, irritability, etc. This cognitive impairment can begin during, or appear after treatment. Because symptoms are hard to distinguish from certain aging or menopausal phenomena, “chemo brain” doesn’t lend itself well to scientific study. It happens, though, you’re not imagining things. And in time, it will most likely diminish or disappear.
