Brain fog and mobility issues can be common after treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including bone marrow transplants (BMT). Here are some points from the knowledge base:

- Chemo Brain: Cognitive changes, often referred to as "chemo brain" or "brain fog," can occur due to treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplants. Symptoms include memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and feeling "foggy."

- Mobility Issues: Weakness in feet or hands and ongoing fatigue are potential complications after AML treatment. These can affect balance and mobility, necessitating the use of aids like walkers or wheelchairs.

It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare team to ensure proper management and support.

He has been experiencing brain fog for approximately 4 weeks. He actually asked me last night what city were we in. Today he asked me the code for his phone. He does this frequently. No, he has not had covid.
