I just wondered if there are any other M patients that still suffer from
short term
memory problems after 5 years or more from surgery/treatment??

Dear Julie,
I am a 24 year survivor and suffer from short term memory loss as a result of brain surgery. It has gotten progressively worse with repeated surgeries. So, I can definitely empathize and sympathize with you.
Sometimes it's very embarrasing. But I have developed my own ways of somewhat masking it in public. For example, if I am speaking and lose my frame of thought, I will ever so casually change the subject by saying something you supposedly forgot to say.
