You walk into a room and forget why you’re there. You lose your train of thought halfway through a sentence. A word you’ve used a thousand times suddenly disappears. Or something that used to take ten minutes now takes twice as long because your brain just won’t cooperate.

If you’ve found yourself wondering, Why doesn’t my brain work like it used to?...you’re not imagining it.

Brain fog is a common and frustrating experience after breast cancer, and it isn’t always as simple as “chemo brain.”

In this episode of Breast Cancer Resilience Radio, Camille explores some of the many things that can affect memory, concentration, word retrieval, and mental clarity after breast cancer—including treatment, hormonal changes, fatigue, sleep, stress, and the enormous mental load your brain may still be carrying.

You’ll also learn why trying harder isn’t always the answer and a simple “Close the Tabs” practice that can help take some of the load off your brain.

Because maybe your brain isn’t failing you.

Maybe it’s been carrying more than you realize.
