My mom got a call from the doctor today saying she needs to have a Pulmonary Function Test done. Does this mean she might have lung cancer? i'm really scared and worried. She actually even started the patch on monday to quit smoking to.

No, it means the doctor is worried about the amount of oxygen she is getting. She could have reduced function from smoking, pneumonia, TB, cancer, non-cancerous tumours, and many other things...some scary, some very easily treated. Encourage her to carry on with the patches....stopping smoking will help whatever is wrong.
