Pancreas Cancer Symptoms

Question: Pancreas Cancer symptoms? if affect memory? or lost memory?

Answer: Loss of memory is not one of the main symptoms usually associated with pancreatic cancer. I can give you a few ideas, though, of how it could be related. One is that people with pancreatic cancer are sometimes depressed (sometimes even before they get the diagnosis), and depression can affect memory. Another idea is that pain medications taken for the pain of pancreatic cancer could possibly affect memory. Another possibility is that the cancer may have spread to another organ, and the dysfunction of that organ may be causing the memory problems. Hopefully that is not the case. Those are just some ideas, but of course, this is a question to ask the doctor who knows the patient best.
