The most probable cause of the chest pain that your mother is suffering from is chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity which can be easily missed in the tests that you have mentioned. I suggest that you get an echocardiography done which will delineate the problem and its extent. As to the weakness, it is quite common after radiation and chemotherapy as the body's reserves are gone. For that you need to take care of her nutrition. If she is unable to take adequately orally, then placing a tube through her nose into the stomach for feeding would be a good idea.
