slurred speech

Hi

I am feeling very worried and confused. My sister-in-law has pancreatic cancer. Today her speech sarted to slur when she was talking and she has slept on and off most of the day. The doctor was called and he said she has not had a stroke. He sent her to hospital, she is still there now, done blood test and given her antibiotics. Has anyone ever heard of this? I think she is allowed home after an ECG test.

any infornation would be good. Thanks
