Need more info: What was the cancer your mother was treated for? Diarrhea is a condition with many causes not only cancer. Diarrhea for 5 days is too long without accurately knowing the cause. Please have her see her family physician asap.

Yes: If she had radiation to abdomen....That can cause long term problems.......Diarrhea is one. But it does not fit in properly. Can be other common causes of diarrhea.
