Is Loss Of Memory A Normal Thing After Radiation Therapy?

Hi my name is Shannon, I live in Chico, California. Over 10 years ago I had a malignant tumor removed from my right side of my brain. I was only treated with radiation. As I m getting older, I feel like my common sense has been fried. It rotted my teeth out. Now I have dentures . On top of all this I m a type 1 diabetic. I do not feel like my normal self. I talk over people, I forget in the middle of something what I m talking about. I repeat stories over and over. I m going to be 52 in May. What can I do? Now I see I need to pay for an answer. I m sorry I have no money. Can you at least tell me if this is normal?

HI
Well come to HCM
If you are experiencing any mammary problem so this may not be due to malignancy of brain and radiation therapy, but this could be due to geriatric problem looking to your age even the geriatric problem would be less likely, just for the safe side it would be better to get done the CT brain, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
