Why did I have the sudden loss of speech after chemotherapy?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a breast cancer patient. During post-surgery chemotherapy, I suddenly developed loss of speech. I have already consulted a neurologist. Please find the attached reports.
Please help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) with diligence, and I would like you to know that I am here to help you. There is a clot in one of the blood vessels in the brain. So, there is no blood supply to that area. Because of the lack of blood supply, the tissues in that area of the brain do not get oxygen, and hence they cannot function.
Since speech is controlled by those areas, you are not able to speak. Based on the records you have sent in the image, I can say that we need to wait for some more time and do a repeat scan to see the improvement or deterioration. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I hope you found the answer helpful.
If you need any clarification, have doubts, have additional questions, or have follow-up questions, then please do not hesitate to ask again.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
