May be due to lymphedema as reported in some cases of mastectomy. Please consult the doctor at hospital where she was operated.
Next Steps
However till she consults the concerned hospital, the therapies of cold pack and salt compress may be continued. Phytolacca decandra 12C/ qds/ can be given for 7 days.

I can understand your mother’s problem.
If the swelling is only in left arm it just need limb elvation i.e. while she sleeps she can keep her left arm elevated with some support.
I need to know that is there any other limb swelling or not.
