Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your father is probably having metastatic for of cancer which has spread to the leg, hip, pelvis, stomach, lungs and spine. Having such a cancerous spread is a serious condition. His general condition is also delicate, and the blood pressure is on lower side with tachycardia or higher than normal heart rate. His disorientation is probably due to poor general condition. With a widespread cancer the condition of the brain cannot be commented up to without doing a CT scan brain, but it appears that his vital organs are in failure, and you must talk to his doctor and inquire about the exact vital parameters. People in end stage cancer are vulnerable to multi organ failure, and it is a concern. Please do not worry.
