What Does Swollen Stomach And Ankle Signify In Liver Cancer?

Hi, my mother has liver cancer (diagnosed last month) it hasn't spread anywhere else and she is undergoing treatment, but today she called me complaining that her stomach is swollen as are her ankles. Is it due to fluid build up? Should I be on the look out for any other symptoms..?
