My mom has cancer again

I just got an email from my mom...

"The cancer has returned. They won’t do radiation again since it is iodine based and my body is immune to the iodine. They are going to schedule a special type of ultrasound with a surgeon. He will do a biopsy. I don’t know if he will surgically remove them at that time or not. I’ll just have to wait and see."

This is the third time she has had thyroid cancer. I am absolutely stunned right now, and can't help but think what if this is it?... what if this time she continues to go downhill and not recover? I just can't handle losing my momma right now. In the past 5 1/2 years I've lost my grandmother, great grandmother, uncle, MIL, and grand-MIL. My grandfather has lymphoma (cancer), and my other grandfather is withering away to nothing due to alzheimers and multiple strokes. My husband just went through brain surgery in September. Sometimes I wish I didn't care so much for people, then it wouldn't hurt so bad.

OMG Desiree!!! I am so very very sorry! You have been through so much these past few months, I can't believe it. Stay strong for her, she'll need you. Have faith that she can and will beat this again! You will be in my prayers. If there's anything I can do, just ask ok?

Desiree,


Im really sorry your mom's cancer has returned. Just breathe and try to stay positive, I know you have had a rough couple of months, but everything will turn out ok, I promise. You will get through this, people fight cancer everyday and I have no doubt in my mind that your mom will fight through this! I'll say a prayer.
