My 44 year old mother is having severe lower left back pain. our family has a list of past cancer.

Don't worry : Most of the back pains are not due to malignancy , are due to musculoskeletal problems. Your mom needs work up to find the cause , need to see her doctor , do not worry about cancer , after the tests doctor will give you good news and relive the pain..
