All of this is so helpful! Never realized dementia was more of a term to explain symptoms rather than an actual condition. Doctors said they think my grandpa developed dementia because he had melanoma and it spread to his brain. They did chemo to treat the melanoma, but they say it also affected his brain and contributed to memory loss.
