Thanks for asking question.
According to history given by you liver cancer seems to be metastasize wide spread.
She also has infection.
For controlling infection and monitoring of patient stay at the hospital for few days.
She has to given iv antibiotic for controlling infection.
In advance stage of liver cancer targeted chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be given.
For pain strong analgesic like tramadol may needed.
Embolisation and ablation treatments available that can be individualise and can be tried with advise from doctor.
So truely speaking according to your history it seems advance liver cancer and wish you good luck.
I hope you will understand my concern.
