One other point I neglected to mention: you wrote about the constant pain your mother is having now. I also had 24-hour-a-day pain from my tumor for months before the surgery, and was trying all kinds of ways to numb it. However, after the standard post-surgical pain wore off (with the help of some medication), the tumor pain was gone -- a tremendous relief!
