Hello and welcome to EmpowHer! I wanted to chime in and say I've also heard many people refer to "chemo brain" and I personally think there is something to it. I'm glad the comments above have helped you--that is so great and it is one of the reasons why I created a site like this one. I also noticed that you said you had a hysterectomy--do you mind if I ask you if you still have your ovaries? The reason I ask is that some of your symptoms match what I had after I had my hysterectomy and it's possible that you might be dealing with a hormonal imbalance too. You may want to go in for a total panel of blood work to see if anything is off kilter. If you go to www.herplace.com and scroll down until you find a red book, you can click on that and it will show you a list of the blood work Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet suggests we women all get. She is the Tucson based doctor who I credit with saving my life. You may still have your ovaries and your hormones may be just fine but I did want to mention this as a possibility since so much of what you wrote mirrored what I went through. Thank you again for your post and please let us know how you are doing. Big hugs to you, Michelle
