Changes in the way we concentrate on things and changes in our memory are common signs when one undergoes the cancer treatment. During treatment one tends to forget things more than usual. Also, one faces a hard time in focusing on things.
The effects on memory and concentration power vary due to tiredness, stress and medications. Establishing routines is a good strategy to help manage these changes.
Do’s and Don’ts for a cancer patient:
· Remember that these changes are temporary and they will diminish after treatment.
· Call physician in case if symptoms like confusion and difficulty in reading occurs.
· Record important conversation or take note of them for an easy recall.
· Set reminders and alarms for medication.
· Keep your essential belongings at an obvious place so as not to forget about them anytime.
· Last but not the least, as and when some health regarding questions pop up then jot it down so to get the answers from the physician.
