A member asked:
Short term memory problems after brain cancer treatments, what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitoring & consult: This is not uncommon, and can improve, but without good pre and post surgical neurological and neuropsychological evaluation it can be difficult to determine the cause or course. Subjective memory complaints are often not related to actual performance. Consultation with the treating providers and a neuropsychologist would be a place to start.
