Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Chemo brain is a term that is used to describe chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment or cognitive dysfunction.
So, if you had chemotherapy, your cognitive symptoms may be explained by this.
Cerebral volume loss is a common finding in MRI as we age.
