Wondering how radiation and chemo treatments from 24 years ago affect survivors and what to expect as dementia progresses. I can’t find information for this specific condition.

Treatment for cancer and its permanent affects on a person is as individual to that person as his or her own fingerprint. Your best guidance in this is a good neurologist who will get scans and an MRI to give you the best ideas of current status and prognosis. If this person has been living a good quality life withOUT any residual affects of treatment for cancer then it is unlikely now that this person will have affects from cancer or treatment of that long ago at the present time. With some long term forward affects such as lymphoma, etc. this is unhappily not the case; they can show up decades later.
Again, your own doctors are your best guides in this. While some here may have stories they will be very unlikely to have any relevance to your own situation.
Sure am wishing you the very best.
