What Causes Frequent Urination And Weakness In The Legs While Suffering From Cancer?
My 88 year old father has stage 4 cancer. In the past 2 weeks he has lost the ability to stand and is in bed most of the time. He is using a urinal almost every hour all night long. His routine is to go and then drink water and then back to sleep. Is it OK to cut down on the amount of water he drinks at night so that he goes less frequently? YYYY@YYYY

Mam or sir you have mentioned your father has cancer stage 4.You have not mentioned about the primary site of cancer.Cancer stage 4 would have secondaries and he might have secondaries lumbosacral spines or it could be because of paraneoplatic syndrome or could be some other general disorder like diabetes.Dont cut down his water intake before finding out the cause.
