Hi everyone,
This question is borderline embarrassing given the much heavier issues brought up in this forum. But anyway, here it goes:
My chemo starts this Wednesday. It will be a combo of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil administered every 14 days.
I intend to work during this period and my greatest concern is chemo brain as my job requires a considerable amount of attention, and sometimes meetings are tense.
Has anyone gone through this experience, any tricks of the trade to avoid or minimise it?
Many thanks for your attention,
Richard
Hi Rich_Col I have had completely different chemo drugs so it’s not comparing like with like…… but you can do this by also putting the same post up in the Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer group.
I had very strong chemo and the one main issue was it obliterated my immune system so if zi had still been working (teaching) I would not have been able to do this due to the infection risks.
As for Chemo Brain….. at time I was so bad I had to stop driving as my reactions were significantly reduced making it unsafe for me to drive
