I have evaluated your query in details .
* Ascites is the fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen
from various causes , here in this case it seems most likely to be due to
spread of cancer pathology to abdomen and liver .
Hope this clears your doubt .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Welcome for any further assistance .
