Suggest Treatment For Spinal Fluid Cancer
My husband is in home hospice due to cancer in his spinal fluid. Today his BP was 98/80. I was told when the systolic and diastolic are close - that s not a good sign. He is still somewhat mobile via wheelchair. Moves from bed to chair to commode. Eating well and interacting.

You don't need to worry about his blood pressure. It is on the low side of normal, but the systolic and diastolic are not especially close where it's a bad sign. The fact that he is mobile, can transfer, is eating well and interacting indicates that he is stable for the moment. Enjoy your time with him and don't be checking the BP a lot or worrying about it. You will know if things take a turn for the worse. Best wishes for you both. Hope this helps.
