Chemo fog - have you experienced it?

Has anyone had the issue of chemo fog? At times my husband forgets things, asking same question over and over, confused. Yet this is not all the time. He may be this way for days then go weeks and is fine.

"Chemo brain" happens often in people being treated for multiple myeloma. There are a couple of discussions about it here in the forum, and it also comes up in the patient articles the Beacon publishes.

See, for example, these forum threads:

I hope your husband's situation improves and it doesn't cause too many problems in the meantime.
