Memory loss patient

I'm always reading around in the health news to see the interesting stories and new technologies that are advancing constantly. Recently, I found an interesting story of a man who suffered memory loss problems, and those are always quite interesting to me. There was a man that had been complaining about insomnia and memory loss problems over the last few months, but then one day he just flat out lost his memory.

He went to the doctor and had various tests performed on him. It ended up being caused by a cancer he had, in which his antibodies were attacking his healthy brain cells. This, in turn, caused severe memory loss.

After chemotherapy and other treatments, his memory has started to return over time, and hopefully he makes a full recovery. These problems are always hard for doctors to solve, and luckily he got a good doctor that could figure out the cause behind the problems.
