Unhappy update

Okay so that didn't go very well. Mom had her first infusion of Adriamycin last Wed. On Saturday, we had to take her to the ER. She was in excruciating pain and short of breath. The pain was coming from her liver and wrapping entirely around her lower rib cage which we knew had two new areas of cancer. She also has two new small spots on her spine. Now granted she was having discomfort in her tummy before the tx and it has been a little swollen, but the pain was nothing like it's been since the Adria and Neulasta shot. She hasn't been able to get out of bed and she is not eating very much. The hospital just sent her home with more morphine.

My question is could the chemo have exacerbate the liver pain? She said she was never ever doing the Adria again. I don't blame her but I just don't know what's going on. I'm guessing her onc will come up with a new treatment plan. I just don't know...
