You have not mentioned whether he is receiving any treatment for his cancer. If he is not then it is quite likely that his disease is progressing. Advanced prostate cancer, or for that matter any cancer can spread to any other part of the body. In your dad's case, it appears that the disease has spread to the brain, resulting in all these symptoms. If you want him to get better, then he will need immediate hospitalisation with injections of antibiotics, steroids, and anti-seizure drugs. Also, he will need to undergo an MRI of the brain to confirm the diagnosis. If it is indeed cancer then he will need short course radiotherapy to the brain. All this will not cure him, but make him better.
