Is brain fog normal after a cancer diagnosis?

Brain fog after a cancer diagnosis is very common and understandable given everything happening right now. The stress of a new diagnosis, along with all the appointments and waiting for test results, can definitely affect concentration and mental clarity. Many people in the cancer community experience similar feelings during this overwhelming time, so know that these reactions are normal and you're not alone in this experience.

Everything will be fine Christina, sending healing prayers to you. Stay strong.

I was diagnosed with esophageal junction cancer on March 6 after a routine EGD for approval for bariatric surgery. I have seen more doctors and been in more hospitals in the last 11 weeks than I’ve been in my entire 60+ years. I’ve had a CT. PET Scan, EUS and on April 22, I had an ESD that too 3 hours. Three margins came back clean. The section of the tumor that was abutting the esophagus came back with residual cancer. My staging (to date) is T1a-bN0M0. On Monday, May 18, I’m having aan esophagectomy. The removing about a third of my esophagus and 75% of my stomach. Waiting for pathology after the surgery is going to be stressful. I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you continue your journey.

Hello Lynne I will pray for you 🙏❤️🙏be strong please 🙏 everything will be fine 🙏♥️♥️
