What is an RF ablation of the lung?

This is a very new treatment, and apparently it has shown some success in treating cancer. Your mother will have a small probe inserted into her lung through the chest wall, and the nodule will be destroyed by using extreme temperatures, and/or microwave or something similar. I would think that the only complications might be bleeding, but I'm sure the medics will have that covered. I don't know about the post-op care. Good luck to you and your mother.
