brain fog chemo brain memory loss breast cancer

Many people who are receiving breast cancer treatment say they have issues remembering, thinking, and concentrating during and after treatment. People commonly call these issues chemo brain or chemo fog, while doctors call these issues cognitive impairment or cognitive problems. It’s important to note that people who receive hormonal therapy may also have memory problems.

Some people may have trouble with:

learning new tasks
remembering names
paying attention and concentrating
finding the right words
multitasking
organizing thoughts
making decisions
remembering where things are, such as keys or glasses

More than 75% of people diagnosed with breast cancer say they have cognitive problems during chemotherapy. In some cases, people can have cognitive problems several years after completing chemotherapy.
