Suggest Treatment For Fatigue And Memory Issues

Question: Hi, I am 58, a female and had triple negative breast cancer, non metastasized that was found 4/2015. I went through chemotherapy, radiation and mastectomy. Fatigue started, but now it is much worse. My chmeo ended in September. Now, I am fatigued, more confused, worse memory and most alarming is I have periods of gross incoordination. In the morning, I can barely walk 3 feet to hold on to the door frame. I stumble, my balance is very poor in the morning and night and when I am tired. I'm a Nurse. I can't get into a Neurologist for another month. Can you give me any ideas on what I should do and what it might be?
My lives enzymes are fine except for my Alkaline Phosphate which is 130.

Brief Answer:
hello dear. you require evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. It is difficult to correlate your symptoms with either chemo or radiation related side effects. Not to make you afraid but triple negative cancer is notorious for a relapse in brain and i will advise you to undergo an MR imaging of brain. You should get yourself tested for rhyroid function as well as diabetes and vitamin b12 deficiency.
Please revert back with the reports.
Thanks and regards
