chemo and liver pain

My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with primary liver cancer. He finished his first round of chemo about 34 days ago which was given directly to the liver tumors(4). About 7 days ago he started having excruciating pain in the liver area. Although the Dr.'s told him he would have some pain, it is far more than anticipated. Is this a normal reaction in some people?

Update: after an emergency room visit this evening the Dr. has diagnosed Pancreatitas. My boyfriend has never had this condition....could it be related to the liver cancer or chemo?
