I have always forgotten things here and there, but since last year and the cancer (gone now thankfully since Oct). It has gotten WAY worse and just is not getting any better. I have BPD abnd BiPolar II along with generaly anxiety issues.
Anything sound familiar? Is this just all me? It is a few days til dr appt so I won't know anything from them until next week. Just wondering, thanks.

I see by your profile you are a cancer survivor...some cancer fighting medications/chemo do cause a lingering memory problem...
I also see in your profile (and in this post) you have bipolar II, borderline personality disorder and anxiety problems ...all of which sometimes can share the same symptom of having memory problems...
there are also many mental and medical issues that can cause a person to have memory problems...so many in fact that if you google memory problems you will get millions of results of what this can be...
no you are not alone, i have memory problems due to stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, not eating right at times, not getting enough sleep and many other reasons...
my opinion its best to talk with your treatment providers. they can tell you whether its a lingering symptom from your cancer, or your mental problems or something completely different..
