Dear Anon, I am sorry your mom is having a tough time with her stay at the hospital. Recent medical data shows that Americans are becoming more resistant to responding to antibiotic treatment for many types of bacterium. I am not surprise to read about your mom's case, it seems to be the trend. You mentioned the fact that your mom has undergone radiation therapy, it is very possible that her immune system is experiencing the necessary amount of T-cells to fight infection.

T-cells, or lymphocytes, are the body's natural defense mechanism against infection, directly attacking foreign bodies such as bacteria and viruses. The body contains millions of different lymphocytes that fight specific infectious microbes. Research published in this area suggests that having a wide variety of each specific T-cell in fewer quantities leads to optimal survival and activity of these infection-fighting cells. Competition within each type of T-cell allows the body to maintain a diverse inventory of natural infection fighters.

I think your mom could benefit from seeking a health care professional that can help her rebuild her immune system once she leaves the hospital. There are many options out there and a Naturopathic doctor will be a best bet.
