She has low blood pressure. Does any of the meds that she's on cause this?
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 to 110/70.

Blood pressure does tend to get higher as you age. 120/80 is a normal pressure for young, healthy adults. Your pressure isn't very high, and isn't high enough to begin a blood pressure medication regimen. Keep in mind that your pressure constantly fluctuates during the day, and what you have read at a doctor's office isn't always your average pressure. If your doctor has been tracking your pressure, and isn't concerned, there isn't a need for you to be. Just try to stay healthy, eat right, exercise, and you shouldn't have to worry about your pressure for a while.

She may not be getting enough fluids. If she is awake get her to drink more. Lack of fluids (dehydration) will cause a drop in blood pressure. It is better to drink juices or water rather than soft drinks. They hydrate more quickly than soft drinks and if she can tolerate it, gatorade will replace sodium and potassium if she is dehydrated. You don't say if she is at home or not but if she is at home this should help.

It actually means that you should be asking this question of your or his doctor and not taking answers from us on this site. The heart and blood pressure is far too important of an issue for just anybody to throw out an answer. Ask his doctor and get and educated answer, please!

85 millimetes of Hg is the pressure that your heart pumps out when it contracts and 50 millimeters of Hg is the pressure when your hearth relaxes. it's kind of low, but depending if the cancer is spreading it may have an effect on the heart

The pressure drop is because she is not taking enough food and liquid. She is coming to a dangerous level of bradycardia and other complications.
Can be because of medicines she was or is on. Anyway encourage her politely to eat or drink orally, whatever she feels like.OK.

That's low. It can mean she is heading towards the light, but, my dad's went down to 50 over 33 and he heard my brother and I arguing, we had to decide whether to send him to dialysis again, and he woke up and told us to 'shut the hell up' quite a moment.He died a few days later.
