Chemo Brain is Real

Chemo Brain is Real, more evidence

I never worry about the long term side effects of all the chemo I am getting right now, hell I never even thought about it until I read this article.  I was more concerned with my current state of staying alive than anything else.  Now I know it is a bit much, but “chemo brain” is a real thing.  I do experience this side effect and it sucks.  As for the rest of the longer term side effects I am not sure what will happen.  Do the immediate benefits of living (FUCK YES) out weigh the long term side effects?  I think so, at least in my case.  My body didn’t really give me much time or a choice.  Even if I did have more time, I don’t think it would have really changed any of the choices that were made, except for possibly preserving my fertility.  But we are past that bridge and we can’t go back so there is really no use in even thinking about it.  I am not sure what will happen to my body physically in the long run but I am just glad I am here in the now and enjoying every moment I can.  Shit, I would say some of the side effects currently are worse than the possible side effects of the future.  But I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.  Once again, FUCK YOU CANCER!
