I need advice please.  My mom is undergoing chemo for stage 4 Klatskin tumor met to liver & lymphnodes and is taking Oxycontin for pain when needed.  She was also prescribed Lorazepam for anxiety as needed.  She has only taken a few of these so far but when I was on drugs.com it states not to use it if severe liver problems.  Shouldn't this cancer be considered "severe..." and maybe not prescribed or taken?  I don't want to knowingly give her something I think may adversely affect her.  What possible drugs could be used in her case as a substitute?  Mild depression on occasion, stomach pain and weakness in legs are her only other side effects.  And loss of appetite for obvious reasons.  THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE YOU CAN OFFER!
