I had an encounter with one of the people I've worked 4 or 5 catering jobs with in the last year. I recognized a familiar face and we said hi and I said, "I apologize but I don't recall your name." The person said, in a bit of a huff, "Well dang Scott, I always remember your name and we've worked together so much."
So I had to explain.
There is this side effect of the chemo drug, docetaxel, (one of many) that is called chemo brain. Not something I ever wanted but I deal with it daily. I forget names, I forget chores, I forget what we talked about, I can't multitask like I used to. I struggle to even make a list of things I need to do.
It's no fun and I hate it. But there's not much I can do about it.
So please, if you know someone who is having or has had chemo, cut 'em a little slack. They're trying. They really are.
