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

I can’t express how sorry I am, I am in tears just reading this. There are no words I can say to comfort you but please know that you and your darling little boy will be in my prayers. Please message me if you need any support at all. Sending all the love in the world, Amanda x

Thinking of you and your boy OP. How utterly terrifying and devastating for you all. You are in out thought Flowers

gruffalo28 · 21/01/2021 22:22

I'm so, so,so, so sorry. It puts everything else in perspective. I adore my little boy with his two big sisters.Had a very different illness and I thought for a very brief time like I had lost him too, in a different way but we were lucky. Just devastating. Cuddle him close,you poor, poor dears.x

mousepen · 21/01/2021 22:22

Just awful, I'm so sorry, there is no words, it's truly heartbreaking. Thinking of you all. Life can be so shit, all this pain. I pray for a miracle xxx

whereismormonjesus · 21/01/2021 22:23

I’ve not long since got a new chicken, OP. I haven’t thought of a name for her yet. Since your boy is fond of chickens he is more than welcome to help me out and think of a good chicken name which you could tell me. I’d certainly trust his judgment and honour it, he sounds a sweetheart.

I'm so, so sorry. Words are meaningless I know...I can only imagine what you must be going through. My youngest is 2 and 3 months, and loves those books too. It's so unfair Sad Sending you love and strength xxx

Bless him and bless you ❤️

I am so so sorry. Daffodil

Strokethefurrywall · 21/01/2021 22:38

Words are never enough. I cannot comprehend the horror you're facing, nor do I hope to try.

May these messages from strangers both nearby and across far reaching oceans bring some small measure of comfort in these darkest of times.

I hope some of the strength we're sending will help you when your strength fades.

I'm so truly sorry OP 💕

Lesina · 21/01/2021 22:39

There are no words of comfort to offer. It is beyond words. Hold your baby boy tight and know that you are in the thoughts of so many people tonight. Wishing you the strength to find every possible joy in the weeks or months ahead. Your boy will know he is loved. I am so very sorry for you & your boy.

Alice0901 · 21/01/2021 22:42

This made me tear up, my heart aches for you. I cannot imagine the unbearable pain you are in. Life is unfair, cruel and makes such little sense 😢

CorianderBee · 21/01/2021 22:42

Fucking cancer. Nasty, pointless, fucking bastard.

Sorry about your son OP. He's a trouper, I know you're proud of him as you should be. He's been dealt the mother of all bad hands.

WineInTheWillows · 21/01/2021 22:44

This is one of the saddest things I've ever read on here. My heart breaks for you. I am so, so very sorry.

Brenna24 · 21/01/2021 22:44

I am so sorry. It is heartbreaking and no parent should have to go through it. He sounds like such a wee love too. Cancer is an awful bastard disease and you have been dealt a really shitty hand. P.s. we are a big fan of catching rain on our tongues and jumping in puddles. He has good taste.

grapewine · 21/01/2021 22:44

I have no words but I'm crying for you and your family. The world can be so cruel.
