Forgetfulness and brain fog

Hi all,

My dad was diagnosed metastatic with spread to his rib and spine about 3 years ago. We live across the country so I only get to see him about 4 times a year, but we FaceTime weekly.

He’s currently visiting and I’m noticing a lot of forgetfulness and it seeming like his brain is just…off. It’s like he has zero common sense. He’s always been somewhat forgetful, but this seems much more significant. Repeating himself a ton. Yesterday he asked me if owls could fly (while looking at one high up in a tree in our yard).

He’s taking Orgovyx and Abiraterone, along with all the other typical meds. He’s had radiation two years ago, and again more recently.

Is this typical for this treatment? It’s definitely more noticeable than the last few times I’ve seen him, but I know his treatments have gotten more intense over recent months.
