hi...sorry to know about your mothers condition...
she seems to be suffering from post radiation sickness syndrome...the symptoms of which are what ur mom is suffering from...
try to get her back to the hospital where she recieved her treatment...generally they will start on steroids to prevent the fluid accumulation due to radiation sickness...
hope ur mom gets well soon
