Chemobrain has a lasso around my brain-to-tongue action and my previously impeccable meory and organizational skills, even though I finished chemo in April 2007. I was talking with my doctor about it and he, in a half-joking, half-serious manner asked me to consider trying Namenda, an Alzheimer's Dementia drug. After thinking about it, chemobrain (mine anyway) does have similar outward signs/symptoms of a dementia. I haven't researched it yet, but was curious if anyone else had maybe tried it, heard of it being treated with a dementia drug, or if there was any data that may show chemobrain is a physical change in the brain, similar to the changes that occur with Alzheimer's?
