Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted she has stage 4 cancer with widespread metastasis.
So as liver metastasis is present hypoalbumnemia can be there with sodium and water retension lead edema feet.
Take low salt diet.
Diuretic can be taken.
Less fatty food eaten...
Continue with chemotherapy and other drugs prescribed.
Prognosis not good in your case as tumour already metastasise .So take care of her till survival.
