Nice knowing you, brain...

I am five years out from neo adjuvant dose dense chemo, and the chemo brain has never left. The fatigue has never stopped.

Every day I am frustrated by my cognitive decline. My ability to write and articulate my thoughts has decreased so much. I can't just shut up and *be thankful* that I am still here. That doesn't negate my every day reality. The doctors shrug away my concerns. Meanwhile, my boob is gone and my brain is, too.

I am turning 44 in a few days. I was diagnosed at 38.

Does anyone else understand?

I can relate! Did you also go the tamoxifen route? I find this to be an exasperating SE of my aromatase inhibitor.

Yes, I am currently on Tamoxifen. I was on Arimidex by mistake (long story there...) but have done better on Tamoxifen. "Better" for me means no suicidal ideation. Sigh. I'm just frustated.
