Memory loss

Hi there, I hope you’re all doing okay today ️  Oh my, how to start? 
Well, here goes. My wife has recently finished with the chemotherapy and now I’m just going through the motions of waiting, worrying and thinking “what next?” 
So, currently, my wife is having trouble stringing a sentence together and her memory is not good at all. I’ve been told that the vitamin B12, injected directly into the body, can help with this. 
Has anyone else heard of this before and if so who would be the best person to contact? I don’t google everything for advice as I feel it would be more helpful to hear from anyone who has been through this. 

Thanks in advance and take care ️

  • Hi Seani and welcome, I might be going through what your wife is, difficulty remembering recent things and names and trouble concentrating.for more than a few seconds, i was diagnosed with cancer related cognitive changes CRCC. Which means the brain has to work much harder than it used to so has to open up new neural pathways to compensate and you have to adjust to it, which you can, I did a managing memory and concentration course 6 x 90 minutes and things are getting better, though i have been told a full recovery is not possible, but a big improvement is., Seani I did the course at Maggies, www.maggies.org best wishes to you both.

  • Hi Eddie I hope you’re doing well today. 
    Thank you for taking the time to write to me, it’s much appreciated, especially at this moment in time. 
    As I mentioned to Sarah, a nurse here at CRUK, my wife has been having days where she just doesn’t want to talk with anyone about anything and wants to be left alone, which is quite upsetting as it’s a complete opposite of what she once was. 
    I will talk with her about what you and Sarah have mentioned. But it is a little difficult right now, feels like we’re in limbo mostly. 
    I wish you all the best Eddie, take care

  • Hi Sean, I'm doing ok thank you. I should have said the CRCC course is a group course, and talking to others who were also going through it helped me enormously best wishes.

    Take it easy and have a good weekend
