Hello, I have been diagnosed with a breast cancer and the therapy includes a surgical procedure that should remove the affected tissue. After that, I assume I will be subdued to chemo therapies in order to kill the remaining cancer cells, if there is any. Anyway, I have heard a lot of bad things about chemos, and I would like a clarification of the phrase –chemo brain-. What is that?

Well, I had an indirect experience with that condition since my grandmother suffered from it after her problems with cancer. That condition includes things like memory loss, problems with perception, thinking etc. Some describe it as the state when being drunk without the alcohol use. But it does not affect everyone who had a cancer, so think only of getting rid of that tumor for now.
