habbits,and has cancer in between lower
spine.not on chemo right now.when she gets
this and falls her body shakes from the
shoulders downi cant get her to see her
dr.what is this?
Weakness and shakiness in your mother's
legs are probably caused by the presence
of cancer spreading into your mother's
spinal cord. Spinal cancer can be
metastasized (transmitted) from breast
cancer. I recommend you ask for expert
help from an oncologist
(cancer-specialist).
