I was wondering if and what long term side effects there are from chemo and radiation. I had a nasopharyngeal carcinoma 7 yrs ago. Things are happening to me now that didn't before. My memory loss is greater, I can't comprehend things like I used to. If someone tells me how to do something, my body wants to, but my brain can't connect with it. If I go to do something, I have to do it right then, because if I get distracted, it totally goes out of my brain. I know a lot of people have this sometimes, but it's a daily thing, and it's scary. If anyone has any ideas or answers please let me know.
