Delaying cognitive decline

[EireAtaxic]

I had a BT partially removed in 2009 followed by 30 rounds of RT in 2010. Tumour has been stable since but I have experienced side effects (fatigue, tinnitus, confusion, cognitive decline, etc). Today I had a radio oncologist review and I explained this. He told me that because of dose of the radiation and the location, it was likely that I will experience deterioration in the future.

Has anyone any advice on reducing the impact? I play sudoku daily, work 20 hours a week. I take coq10, ginkgo biloba, magnesium, whey protein, vitamin b12.

Thinking that RT must be awful? Amazing what life can throw at you.

It didn't really bother me when it was being administered, I was 32 and didn't have kids. Things have gotten harder over the years though. I was left with ataxia after the surgery and this makes life even more difficult.

Hi, I have had success with a supplement called memorall. It contains vit B, Gingko biloba, Bacopa monnierri, nutrients: vinpocetine, acetyl-L-caritine, phosphatidylserine etc. I have noticed improvements to my short term memory.
