Hi,
This is very interesting as I have noticed a mild memory problem with my
husband who is currently on 5FU for colon cancer. His Dr said we should try
and keep a diary of his memory problems. He said he would do a MRI if it
continues, but that it also can be a side effect in rare cases.
Hope all goes well with you.
