Chemo drugs stored in fat cells
by quiltnsheryl, Jun 29, 2008 01:10PM
Can chemothearpy drugs be stored in fat cells that can latter be released with wieght loss? I finished my treatments for Hodgkings Lymphoma May of 2006. It is now June of 2008. In the last three to four months I have lost 15 pounds. I am having problems with concentration and memory such as leaving door unclock when I go to bed or putting remaining frozen corn in drawer where I got a closure for the open bag instead of freezer. I feel like I am going crazy. Others around me have notice I'm not all there also.
Thank you for you help.

Weight loss is deu to the shrinkage of fat cells and no, technically chemotherapy drugs cannot be stored in fat cells and released later.
what is in the fat cells is only fat.You weight loss issues could be due to entirely different reasons and so could your forgetfulness.
You may have to go to a neurologist for athorough evaluation to root out the cause for this.
