Hi I’m new to the forum ; I’m been treated for prostate cancer over the last 4 years and lived a normal lifestyle,just recently I’ve been diagnosed with colon cancer and finished my 5th treatment 3weeks ago one mor to go before surgery hopefully. . My only problem this time with chemotherapy is the brain fog and being unsteady on my feet, feel like I can’t do anything about it my understands but it does irritate her I know when I can’t drive anywhere. Is there anyone with the same awful feeling that I have regards David 

  • Hello Bigdave and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Living and coping with chemo brain can be very tough but I hope it helps to know that quite a few of our members have contended with this too so they will completely understand what you are going through and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and share their experiences and advice.

    If you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you and address any further worries or concerns you have about this.

    We're thinking of you Bigdave and are wishing you all the best with your last chemo and upcoming surgery.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
