First of all very sad to know that your mother is suffering from Lung Cancer. Once a tumour is detected and removed by any of the therapy's there would be an accompanying pain which lingers for some time as there are some other portions near the tumour that also get affected by the therapy. The best thing for you is to check with the doctor you are consulting. Remember one more thing, with cancers there is always a possibility of it returning back after some treatment, so do a regular check up every 6 months to see if there is a relapse happening.
Also, if your mother is into smoking, convince her to quit.
Wishing you all the best!
Cheers!!
