My son is dying

This is fucking cancer. He is 2. We are only 3 months from diagnosis and we are out of active treatment options.

I hate cancer, I hate the pandemic disrupting our world and keeping us from people we love.

He has been so tough she and strong and there is nothing more they can do, the cancer just keeps coming back.

I would give everything to keep him

Dear OP,

Sending you love. Know we are all here to walk with you and listen.

Is someone helping you to find accommodation? I don’t know where you are but I know loads of people who could possibly help you. Or perhaps someone on here could help you? Maybe indicate where - rough guide not exact - you are and people close by could help you find a place? I worked in a hospice and we had specific locations for families

This is totally heartbreaking Flowers so so sorry for what you are going through.

20CMB21 · 21/01/2021 21:37

Blindspots, that is so unbelievably awful. There's no way round the awfulness of it. The very thought of it is bad enough; I can't begin to imagine the reality. Flowers

I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful boy. I'm thinking about you. Sending hugs xx

LittleCabbage · 21/01/2021 21:45

blindspots I am so sorry to read your posts. I feel as though I can see your lovely little boy bouncing around, from your description of him. This is so cruel and unfair, and you have every right to be raging.

I am just so sorry Flowers

Just so unfair and bloody cruel

Oh my goodness, your latest post reduced me to tears. I consider myself pretty tough as a nurse, it’s something I deal with on a day to day basis.
But the thought of losing a child is just beyond imaginable. I’ll only ever have my one daughter, and the thought is just horrendous.
You are amazing for being everything for your children and for being so strong.
You are an amazing mum, your strength is just amazing xxx

HelloDaisy · 21/01/2021 21:57

My heart breaks for you. It is the worst news imaginable.

No words we say will take away your pain, but know that we are all with you and thinking of you with love ❤️

Pebbledashery · 21/01/2021 21:57

You've blessed his life by being his mummy and he's blessed yours by being your son. I'm so sorry op 😘😢

I’m so so sorry for you all, it’s just tragic Flowers

He sounds an absolute love, what a cheeky little chappy. I am so so sorry OP.

Oh I am so, so very sorry. This is devastating. Flowers

I have no words other than I am so very, very sorry x

Mum2jenny · 21/01/2021 22:03

So so sorry for you. My heart bleeds for you. Cannot say how much your story has touched me. I’m crying now. I will light a candle for you (hoping it does help!!)

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 21/01/2021 22:13

This is just awful. I just don’t know what to say as I know that nothing I can say or do can even make this even slightly better. But please know that I don’t know your little one but I have read about him here and I won’t ever forget that or how much he is obviously so loved.

blahblahblah54321 · 21/01/2021 22:15

Oh @blindspots , I'm so sorry Sad. My son went through chemotherapy a few years ago, he's doing well now thankfully but sadly I now have a few friends who have lost their children since. Truly devastating, stupid bollocks that is cancer.

Be kind to yourself x
