My husband was treated 2 years ago for a cancern that is now in remission; however...he suffers from short-term memory loss. In the literature that we were given during treatment, there was a reference to "chemo brain" and that it is temporary, but could still last for several years. I'm interested in any research that could help us understand this. I’m interested in any studies regarding “chemo brain” and the effects on memory.
