Hello
Your mother can have the soaked almonds if she does not have cough.
Sometimes while chewing she can have regurgitation and might lead to cough and ultimately can feel nauseous.
Is she can chew without symptoms she can have 8 to 10 almonds soaked and skin removed before eating.
Or else you could make a paste of the same mix with little mild and give her slowly with a spoon.

It's great to hear that your mother is doing well. In regards to your question, it's generally safe for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation to consume soaked almonds, raw walnuts, and raisins. In fact, these foods are healthy and can be included as part of a balanced diet for cancer patients.
Soaked almonds are a good source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and various nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium, which can help support the immune system and overall health. Raw walnuts and raisins are also nutritious and can provide important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support the body's ability to fight cancer.
However, it's always best to consult with your mother's healthcare team or me before making any changes to her diet.
