How Can Liver Cancer Be Managed?

Hello my son is 26yrs old and has been diagnosed with liver cancer,from what i understand stage 2 .He never even told me he had it he didnt want to burden me with it well anyway he takes pills and is suppose to go to chemo every week sometimes he wont go. After he goes hes sick but i was getting calls all night saying they can hear him in pain and crying. I had called him i muted on my part cause i stayed on phone with him and i can hear him cry as he was sleeping and sounded like he stopped breathing and he made a weird noise.I dont know what to do or what steps to take he goes to cmc in manchester nh but they dont specialize in that the are more of a heart and sleep center etc.I am trying to get him here with me but my grandson he just turned 5 wont leave his side
