Oddly specific question but my brother was recently diagnosed with blood cancer after being rushed to the hospital
In the space of about 2 days he went from being totally fine to being unable to walk due to the tumours on his spine and is now looking at an 18 month time frame before he can walk properly again
Literally the day before he went to hospital he was stood playing beatsaber on VR.

Adding to what others wrote: as the tumor grows it also frequently compromises the blood flow in that area of the spinal cord. If someone has a fairly sudden decline in this setting, they are often found to have a spinal cord infarct (ie a stroke of the spinal cord) rather than just nerve damage from the compressive force of the growth.
