Chemo Brain

Wow, I learned a lot last night, seems there's something called chemo brain - and I've got it! Which is OK, I feel so much better that the memory loss and things I'm experiencing are chemo brain (because they sound just like the rest of you are talking about) rather than being problems from the brain lesions or gamma knife treatment! I hadn't even heard of chemo brain until I was exploring the chemochicks.com website. There's some great stuff there.

I can't wait to get home and start reading my book, "Your brain after Chemo" it's really rather interesting you don't hear much about this, but after I started checking seems like there are a bunch of books and such about it. I'm thinking when I go to the Gathering Place on Saturday it should also prove informative because I'll be around people who have already gone through the same things. I'll learn from their experiences instead of having to reinvent the wheel myself!

This afternoon, I got my henna tattoo, I have to wait as long as possible before I rinse it off so it will stain well. I'll do it just before I go to bed. It looks cool, but the stencil lines are still there (they wash off) so I won't get the full effect until I wash it off! It's pretty exciting, at least to me, this would be a great afternoon activity, I might talk to them about it at the Gathering Place. We could do each other, it isn't difficult, it's just you can't do your own head! I'll take a picture and post it when I wash the henna paste off!

I'm still sitting in the lobby of the main building at the clinic, it's nice, a lot of peole around and it gets me out of my apartment! I'll probably head home in a little while. It seems lie it's so late, but it isn't even 7:00 PM - I guess just because it's dark, I don't know! Well, I think I'm going to sign off and head home, I'll post a picture later, so you can see how it looks! Then I'll do some more exploring online and reading my book. That way I'll have more info for you guys tomorrow! It's really interesting learning all this. It's even better being able to share it with people. Well, good. Night everyone I'll talk to you tomorrow!
