Chemo brain [View all]
I know you all have heard of it and may have experienced it. Carol has a bad case of it. Since she is in such a weakened state, I assume that is why. She stays very confused and even hallucinates occassionally. Her lack of eating I'm sure exacerbates the situation even more. I attribute her fall to it, as well. She sees things that appear to be something else. For example, there was a box of latex gloves sitting on a window sill with a small triangular piece of cardboard sticking out the top of it. To her, it looked like a cat's ear, and she wondered what kind of animal it was. She has lots of things lilke that happening. Any of you guys experience that? At first, it really concerned me, but after reading about it, I know it's just the chemo, and usually it goes away after chemo ends or the "not eating" subsides. It is this that makes me think she needs to remain in assisted living until she is completely lucid again. Tell me your experiences with it if you have any.
