What I found months after surgery and radiation was that I gradually became more aware of scar tissue that I hadn't sensed early on. I think many of the nerves in that area were either severed (by surgery) or temporarily deadened (by radiation), and when they started to get back to a normal level of sensation, I began to feel things that took some time to get used to. I don't know if this is what your mother is experiencing, but it could be.
