Is this button great or what? Can you believe it? People who are twisted as I am 
at gotCancer.org!
Breastcancer.org had a live webcast last month on Chemo-brain, I didn’t get to attend it but they just posted the transcripts from it, and it is so nice to know the medical field is looking at ways of dealing with chemo-brain isn’t it? (Click here to read the transcripts.)
I’m not going to use drugs to combat it, I am going to adjust my life and work with this new normal way of doing things. I write massive notes as it is, now I need to organize them. I’m going to try walking every day outside for even just 15 minutes and see if that will help me. I’m also beading to help my creativity, and I’m going to incorporate more creative artistic stuff into my life, that is a BIG 10-4!!!
And MOST IMPORTANT, I’m learning to set limits on myself what a novel concept eh? I’m only going to work one job from here on out, and instead of doing a million things by myself, I’m building teams to get things accomplished (wish I could do that with my homework!). I also am realizing that trying to do a lot of things like I use to, just ain’t going to happen right now.
I can focus, and focus on one thing at a time, so let it be written, so let it be done 
LOL

I want one of those buttons! LOL Good for you. I think one of the hardest things for us is to admit that yes – we do have limits. I know for myself, it is difficult to accept that I cannot stand long enough to complete a sinkful of dishes at one time. But you know what? I have learned to let things go…I will get to them sooner or later. You have accepted your limits – that doesn’t mean you don’t push those limits, it just means that you do what you can do, but let that go which doesn’t get done until you can get to it. It is also nice to know that the medical community is finally recognizing chemo brain.

I know I’m thinking about ordering a bunch of them and pass it out when people look at me odd
LOL I also saw this other shirt at a different site that had the pink ribbon with the words next to it: “Fight Like a Girl” Gads, I thought that was so hilarious that I think I’m going to buy one and wear it!
I hope your strength will come back dear Gina, but you know, its the dishes *blah* who wants to stand there and do those? Not I says I! TG for dishwashers!
AS for accepting limits, welll, I’m learning none too gracefully HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
