When tired brain shuts down for a few seconds, chemo effect?

Talking to a friend today who had chemo too, but a different one, I had CMF. Somehow it came up about having microepisodes of my brain just turning off for a couple of seconds.I likened it to turning off your computer by pressing the power button, then immediately turning it back on. It used to happen to me alot,right after the chemo poison. It got less frequent, but the last time it happened was 4 months ago, which was nearly 3 years after chemo poisoned my body. I am told that I look awake when this happens, but it is like I am unconscious for a few miliseconds, on autopilot with no memory of the preceding 2 or 3 seconds. This only happens when I am extremely tired now, thank goodness. Until today talking with my friend, I didn't know anyone else had similar chemo brain related symptoms. This could be dangerous, what if I fell? I am sure the doctors know about things like this hapening after chemo, they just didn't want to tell me.
