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.
