I find myself writing a ton of notes for myself, but sometimes it can get to the point that I forget the intention of my note. It is very scary sometimes and even worse if you're not sure what is going on.

Chemo leaves a horrible wake behind it. It does the job sometimes, but ugh, recovery is not fun. Your little guy is in my prayers. How is he now?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431929944563188136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959695689922076347.post-7657923565466080512013-12-10T07:34:41.137-08:002013-12-10T07:34:41.137-08:00Maybe this explains a little of what is going on w...Maybe this explains a little of what is going on with my son. He is 8 and a brain cancer survivor. In addition to chemo he has had brain and spine radiation. He stumbles over words a lot and has real trouble retaining stuff. As parents its hard because he can't really tell us what the problem is and frustrating because we don't know if he is purposely ignoring our instruction or just doesn't understand what we are asking of him. He is in 2nd grade but is working at an early kindergarten level....school is getting really hard for him..proud mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957077562882628324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959695689922076347.post-45644278456624267592013-12-09T19:33:21.024-08:002013-12-09T19:33:21.024-08:00Oh Angie thank you so much for your fabulous post....Oh Angie thank you so much for your fabulous post. I can empathize with your pain and now understand so much more about my own symptoms from chemo brain. Sometimes I feel as if I'm losing it. I'm so happy you have an understanding and loving family by your side. Know that you now have faraway friends who care about you as well. Take care!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987545100792122462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959695689922076347.post-19908193660800684402013-12-09T14:13:34.853-08:002013-12-09T14:13:34.853-08:00Suzan, I know quite a few women who it's getti...Suzan, I know quite a few women who it's getting better for. I'm happy for them, but can't wait until it's me. It's been several years since chemo and it feels worse sometimes. I did not have to do chemo this time around, but my onc thinks it may have been the stress of the new diagnosis that is making it worse over the past few months.
