I was also on gazyva for my treatments along with ventoclax. It definitly clouds your mind and also messed with my eyesight. You will be happy to know it is not permanent. 6 months after treatments mind clearing up. Some days so proud of myself when i remember certain things now. Chemo brain is real.

Thanks. I knew there was an issue when I almost caused an accident on the way home, took the wrong meds (luckily no harm) and then the carryover into work, things got better as day went on. My son will drop me off and pick me up next week.

Hi Pat745, yes I have cognitive issues as well. I did 6 treatments of Gazyva and my last treatment was almost 6 months ago and still dealing with cognitive problems, the forgetfullness is real, I cant multitask either like I use to. My short term memory isnt the best either. So know your not alone.

I did to. Not sure if it was the Chemo, or the realization I had cancer. Focus now fine.
