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

Did you find a place to be together as a family @blindspots? I hope you get to spend that quality time together.

Sleeping just if the day. It sounds like he's peaceful, and not suffering in any way. That's a comfort, I suppose.

Have you had any sleep? Are you eating?

eenymeanieminymo · 23/01/2021 08:14

I am so sorry for what you are going through and your poor DS. I will be thinking of you all Thanks

StartupRepair · 23/01/2021 08:24

So sorry. What a precious little boy.

rumandbiscuits · 23/01/2021 08:26

I'm so so sorry. No parent in the world should have to go through what you are right now. Sending you and your gorgeous little boy love and light at this heartbreaking time. Thanks

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 23/01/2021 19:55

You will get through this somehow, even though it doesn't feel like it right now. I promise you will.

Hope your wee man is comfortable today and that you and the rest of your family are coping as best you can right now Flowers

Completely and utterly sorry you're all having to go through this. The universe is just so wicked and cruel sometimes

wewillmeetagain · 23/01/2021 20:18

As one mother to another, my heart breaks for you and your family. May your baby boy know no suffering and may you find the strength you will need in the coming days, weeks and months. Xx

I am so truly sorry to read this, cancer is a cruel cruel disease, I cannot begin to imagine the pain you're going through

Ilovewillow · 23/01/2021 20:36

I am so so sorry, your little boy sounds lovely! This is so shit. I will be thinking of you all Thanks

blindspots · 25/01/2021 08:46

Still here, still in hospital. Maybe trying to get some out time tomorrow. But I don't think he will be leaving overnight.

However the hospital are letting us move into a double room for a couple of nights so our daughters can be with us too overnight and we can all be together at least

And we are still here with you virtually. Praying and thinking of you
DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 25/01/2021 09:41

It will be a welcome change for you all to be together with him Flowers I hope tomorrow brings the news that you can get out of hospital with your wee man.

Are you managing to eat and rest?

testingtesting321 · 25/01/2021 12:11

I hope that you are able to enjoy some time together as a whole family. Fingers crossed you are able to leave hospital soon. Thinking of you and sending a virtual hand hold.

dizzycatdance2 · 25/01/2021 12:20

Hope you can all be home soon so you can have some family time at home.

andysdinousaur · 25/01/2021 12:22

No words.
I'm so so sorry.

SunshineCake · 25/01/2021 12:25

The thought of the hospitals kindness so you can all be together made me cry. I hope you have a time together that gives you all happy memories in this horrible time.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 25/01/2021 16:50

It sounds like the staff are very accomodating. I'm glad. You need all the kindness right now.

Sending love and strength on this journey ❤️

KarensChoppyBob · 25/01/2021 16:56

Thanks so so sorry,can't say anything that makes any sense as it doesn't make any sense.

Not even so-called religion can make any sense of this.

But as a fellow human and mother who has lost a child I'm sending you love and strength with all my heart.

IHateCoronavirus · 25/01/2021 19:59

I’m glad the girls are getting to be with you all too. I hope the time together brings your son much joy, and you all beautiful memories. Take lots of photos. Looking back there were never enough photos of my DD. Bear

TheApprentice · 25/01/2021 21:22

I'm so very sorry. Hold each other close. Xx

Jasminesmellingcandles · 25/01/2021 22:29

Aspiringmatriarch · 25/01/2021 22:41

I'm so, so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. Your little boy sounds so lovely. Utterly heartbreaking.
Sending you love and strength. Flowers
