After starting the hormonotherapy treatment, Ms H. has felt troubles of recent memory:
- Some difficulties in the remembering of places where she recently spent her vacation,

- When driving or when moving in her house, needs to think more importantly than before, to know where she should go or what she comes to pick.
Her difficulties are associated with impaired concentration during book readings (needs to proofread several times the same passage from a book). In addition, Ms. H. feels readily exceeded by the current administration of personal papers, making her irritable.
