I have liver cancer and am currently undergoing chemotherapy. Recently, I have become forgetful, sometimes mix up the names of common things, and feel lost at times. Is this a side effect of treatment, and what should I do?

Yes, this can sometimes happen during chemotherapy as a condition often called chemo brain, which can affect memory, attention, and word finding. However, in liver cancer, it is also important to consider other causes such as hepatic encephalopathy, infection, or metabolic and medication-related changes. You should inform your doctor promptly so that they can assess you and arrange blood tests and other necessary evaluations. Seek urgent medical attention if the confusion worsens, as early treatment can significantly improve symptoms.
