There is a specific kind of exhaustion that settles into your bones when your body goes to war with itself. Survivors call it "chemo brain." It is the cruel, disorienting fog left behind by a medicine that must poison you in order to save you. It's forgetting things you have always known, having trouble processing information you used to be able to soak up. It is so frustrating.
