2. Your eyes or skin become yellow.
Jaundice occurs when too much bilirubin (or bile) is in the bloodstream, turning your eyes and skin yellow. While healthy livers metabolize bile so it doesn’t build up in your blood, livers damaged from cancer don’t function normally, which causes yellow-tinged eyes or skin.
3. You’re bloated or have stomach pain, particular on the top right side of your abdomen.
Tumors can block blood flow from the gut to the liver, which can lead to increased blood pressure and can force fluid from your veins into your abdomen. This fluid can build up, causing stomach pain, swelling, or bloating.
