Can anyone explain why IEC chemo gives you a fuzzy head and makes you feel dizzy for the first few days after treatment? Any clues how to combat it other than sit still a lot and not do much?
hi Babafudge
welcome to the group, sorry you had to come and find us
I'm not sure if what you're describing is 'chemo brain' , it might be, I was warned about that.
I did suffer from it but for me it was more subtle, when I look back I'd have been better off leaving certain things until I'd completed the chemo.
hugs
