Memory loss can be gradual. The scan is often used to find out what kind of memory loss you have as some kinds can be helped with tablets. The scan will probably tell the doctor whether you will benefit from those tablets. Please don't worry too much just because you're unsure what's happening - and DO ask your doctor to explain why he's doing what he does.

Hi there, i was in mid fifties when i started being confused and forgetful like you are, and i had blood tests and was diagnosed with under active thyroid and iron deficiency, took medication for thyroid and iron supplement and things improved a lot. It could be worth getting a blood test to check your thyroid. :).
