Hi AnnaNAmos,- There is generally no direct connection between memory loss and Prostate Cancer (PCa) as a by-product of the disease itself. However, when the disease is in a more advanced stage and is being treated with Hormone Therapy and/or Chemotherapy for a prolonged period, the treatment can SOMETIMES have an affect on mental capacity but this can vary widely by individual patient, the stage of the disease and the treatment involved. - John (aka) az4peaks@newPCa.org
