For a patient with last stage liver cancer, these are typical symptoms of end stage disease and you shouldnt be worried about them unless they are distressing to the patient or life threatening. As it is the entire treatment now is symptom based and palliative. I hope he is on some form of anti-cancer treatment as that will also extend the duration and time period of his comfort. This you should discuss with your oncologist based on his fitness to withstand therapy
