Hi ! She needs continuous observation to rule out a significant head injury. Vomiting could be due to a concussion or any level of intra cranial hemorrhage. in that case you have to see her level of consciousness as well which also fades away in case of a significant head injury.
I am not aware as to the stage of breast cancer she had. In advanced stage, we have to also consider any possibility of intra cranial metastatic space occupying lesion where she can get this symptom.
If the symptoms persist, I would suggest to go for a CECT skull to rule out these possibilities, but only after consulting your treating doctor.
Wishing her an early recovery.
