Hello doctor,
My grandfather has rectal cancer, he still walks and eats normally. Lately, he's been rambling at night, and then in the daytime for a few days, sometimes saying something to himself that can't be translated. Doctor let me ask the elderly or talking alone is a symptom of what disease? Thank you.

Hello friends,
With the question “What disease is the elderly who talk alone? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you have the above symptoms, you should give him a brain exam such as a brain MRI to determine if there is brain damage due to metastatic tumor or not, if excluded due to brain metastasis You can refer him to a neurosurgery specialist.
If you still have questions about the elderly or talking alone, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
