I was treated for bowel cancer last year (for a total of 14 months). It entailed overall 7 months of chemo (5 weeks of this also included radio therapy) as well as surgery to both my bowel and liver. The last cycle was 4th Feb this year (2015). For the last 2 months I have REALLY been struggling with chemo brain where I genuinely feel like I am going mad!. I cannot retain any new information and generally in daily life and at work don't think I 'get it' at all anymore!. Can anyone else out there please help me. I am a 41 year old man.
