What Causes Abdominal Bloating In A Woman With Liver Cancer?

I know that I have cirrhosis and liver cancer. I had a chemoembolization done two years ago, soon there after I resigned from my job with the Dept of corrections, sold my home, and no longer have health insurance or a job. I feel extremely weak and my liver and stomach area now appear as though I am pregnant. I am 57 yrs old female and now weigh more than I ever did when I was pregnant. Extremely uncomfortable. I tried to SS they told me I have not worked long enough. What can I do?
