I wanted to comment on something mausmish said about her concentration. I don't think there is enough discussion with patients about this. For some people (both my daughter & I have been through chemo) chemo just blows your concentration abilities for awhile....months sometimes. I was a voracious reader who thought I would spend my chemo time reading....couldn't get through a newspaper article.
My daughter post-BMT had difficulties going to college until she came to terms with some if this. It does improve, but I just think it's important to know that even as your body slowly recovers, your mind may also need recovery time. Don't be discouraged if at first you feel mentally mushy!

Hey Connie, this is so true. I didn't even realize it until after everything happened. I was so mentally checked out after chemo. Thanks for sharing!
