Early dementia from chemotherapy and radiation: Has anyone had it?

The problem is we cannot know for sure unless we get checked out. I sometimes think I am getting dementia because I feel like my brain won’t work right, but then I realize I am mostly doing ok.
I did go to my doctor and asked to screened at one point, he obliged and I am confident now that I do not have an imminent problem. It is hard to have our brains not work in the way we expect.

Hi 👋
Curious what type of testing was done to test your memory issues?
Sometimes I feel I may have “chemo brain” or the start of dementia driven by chemo n radiation I had in the past for my breast cancer It scares me either way of losing my memory more at every passing day. I mentioned before, I will be 69 in few months and fear idea of memory issues. I should be grateful my cancer hasn’t returned but it’s always in back of my mind there may come that day😢🤞

What kind of screening did you have to determine if you have dementia? Thank you! Nancy B
