Not Able To Recognize The Familiar Faces. Frequent And Strong Headaches. History Of Cancer. What Is The Reason?

In the last week I was faced two times with a very alarming situation: A lady that was my next door neighbor for years and I we had a friendship, came to visit me, I could remember her face was familiar but I couldn't remember from where I knew her or her name either her husband's name, they just moved like tree years ago but we were close. Before yesterday a lady that lived in the block for years, came to salute me and I couldn't recall her name or to whom she was related when she was living here, this lady moved about a year ago. I know almost all my neighbors since I have being living here for 20 years. I couldn't remember them, they have to tell me their name and remind me there were my neighbors, I felt completed lost. I have been having frequent and strong headaches lately, I'm a two times survivor cancer patient.

First of all you are saying that your a cancer affected and had been treated twice. Your complaint of frequent headache with difficulty in recognizing known people suggests that you may probably have mass lesion in the left side of your brain. May know your age and for what cancer you are treated previously and do you have history of smoking?this are all known complications of brain tumor or may be metastasis from previous cancer site. Any vommitings, blurring of vision and any weakness in the limbs kindly consult any neurosurgeon as early as possible.he may advice you to CT/MRI brain.
