Chemotherapy linked to forgetfulness?

[Guest guest]

I read today that a study shows that chemotherapy can be linked to

forgetfulness and that it can last long after treatment. The study of

breast cancer survivors suggests the mental fog known as chemo brain

might last longer than once thought and shows that women treated with

chemotherapy a decade ago still experience subtle memory problems.

The article made me wonder whether the brain fog that many experience

with RA could be exacerbated by treatment with MTX since it is a cancer

drug, albeit in much lower doses.

, I wonder whether there have been any studies speficially related

to this issue?

My personal experience validates your proposition.
