On a serious note, this is a harsh truth, but parents tend to disguise their anxiety in front of their children so as not to worry them, so really, there's no way to know just how much this is upsetting your mom. But if she is akin to the many other mothers of this culture, she is probably more selflessly concerned about your mental well-being than her own health, so if you want to lessen her stress, "support" her emotionally, but don't let on that you're worried.
Anyone that tells you not to worry is unrealistic. In this situation it's inevitable, and trying to assuage yourself is really just a convenient and popular tool of psychological suppression. To be blunt, of course you should be worried. Look forward to many sleepless nights.
