This is my brain on chemo

Hmmm, read a posting by johanna_hypatia which references the This is my brain on chemo over at Salon.Com.

One part reads "Even after the worst of each round's side effects passed, I remained in a haze of sorts, with difficulty thinking clearly" which describes what I've been feeling for the last two days. Not greatly worried however. I have a history of meningitis (at 2 years old) and epilepsy (8 - 18 years old) and one of the predicted consequences further down the track was "brain fog".

Duh! And why am I not worried? 'cause there's fuck all I can do about it, except wait such days out. I get like this periodically. Partially what brings it on is either/or too much stuff happening, or not enough sleep. Phooey! as Nero Wolfe would say!
