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.

I'm so sorry this has happened again.
Desiree....I am so sorry to hear about your mom.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. It sounds like she's kicked it before and she can kick it again. I'll be thinking of you both. Stay strong.

Desiree, I'm so sorry to hear this.
((((HUGS)))) Desiree. I'm so shocked and sad for you, I don't know what to say :(. I will be praying that the cancer treatment is quick, simple, and successful and that your life becomes much less eventful very soon.

Desiree,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.
Oh Desiree, I'm sooooo sorry this has happened, and that your mom has to go through this again!! I can only imagine how you must feel. I am saying prayers for you and your mom that they get the cancer completely this time, and it doesn't return, and that she's not too sick. I have heard that thyroid cancer is very slow growing, and treatable.
Hugs, hugs, hugs,
Desiree,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Saying many prayers and sending well wishes to your mom and your family.
you have been through a lot of health problems this year. As for thyroid cancer it is very prevalant in Greece also, due to the chernobil melt down and the radio-active debris that was brought over here in the 80's due to the wind patterns. It is about a 1/4 of the population has thyroid issues and cancer is one of the most profound. I am so sorry about your mamma. I had a very ill mother, and it is funny how we had a wonderful familly life my parents had a great marriage, i have to say but, my mother didn't have health, and she had 18 years of health complications, and extended hospital stays and a lot of grief. All you can do is love her, and pray. I used to pretend i was taking Jesus hand everytime i went into the hospital room with her, i only mention Jesus, cause you are a Christian, i normally don't mention religion, on the posts. But, it helped me a lot.
Praying for you arie
