My husband has advanced prostate cancer and it has spread to his bones but he choose not to do chemo. Since the middle of Aug. he has been in a wheel chair and had declined a lot. The last few days he has been confused and last night it became much worse. No changes in medication recently. His blood count was checked yesterday and they said it was stable and his oxygen level is 99. Do you think the cancer may have spread to the brain and should we ask them to do a brain scan to see if it has or just wait a few days and see what happens? They told us in March he had 6 months to a year without chemo. Some days he has little pain in his bones and others he struggles with. Overall he has done good so this is a real surprise since it does not seem to be dreaming. It started about midnight last night and he is still confused and does not make sence in some ways and then others he seems fine. If it is in the brain can someone tell me what that means?
Thanks
