Hi Idelle,

I'm 9 1/2 years out from treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma and I have chemo brain in spades.  My symptoms are mostly the usual -- short-term memory deficits, attention deficits meaning forgetting what I am talking about or doing, and the whole intending to do the action but it doesn't happen.  I have near-amnesia under stress.  Related chemo maladies are chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I can't recall them all. Those are the main ones that bedevil me.
