I missed my friends birthday, didn’t remember at all. Old me wouldn’t have forgotten. Old me would have already had everything wrapped and ready to post on social media. Cancer me is useless. Cancer me doesn’t remember important things, worse than that, what if I’m not alive for his next birthday? What if I’ve missed my last chance to wish my friend a happy birthday? I feel sick thinking about that. I wish it would all go away.
I know exactly how you feel Platinum Lake and I'm sorry you missed your friend's birthday, I'm sure they will understand.. My memory is appaling since I had treatment for recurrence in 2024.
I use a "remind me " app on my 'phone plus my google calendar to send me reminders so I don't forget anything. It works well once you get in the habit of using it for everything, no matter how trivial.
