my mother

My 73 year old mother was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. She has two tumors and the Cancer has spread to her lymph nodes. She has so far gone through two chemo sessions,and the doctor said the tumors have already shrunk some this is very good news. They plan to do two more chemo treatments and then the surgery to cut the rest out.I think then she does chemo and radiation. I understand the chmo but I do not know what the radiation does and if that will also make her sick.The chemo so far has not made her too sick. The doctors have put her on a pill that reduces the nausea and she has lost all her hair,other then that she has done well so far. Does anyone have any info on what radiation does,or a similar story where they can relate?
