I got my 3rd weekly taxol and herceptin treatment this past Thursday the 22nd. I had blurred vision last Saturday and again today. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I work at a bank and have noticed chemo fog. It is embarrassing and frustrating to admit it and I am asking for any advice to be able to find ways to help me remember. I am also needing help on ways to explain this to my team at work. Thank you

Vision changes and cognitive effects like chemo fog are side effects that many people experience during treatment, and it's completely understandable to feel frustrated about how these symptoms impact daily activities, especially at work. Consider speaking with your healthcare team about these symptoms, and many people find it helpful to share with their work colleagues that treatment can temporarily affect memory and concentration - most teams are understanding and supportive when they know what's happening.
