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've got no words that can help, or advice but I can't read and not say how absolutely unfair this is for your you, your little boy and your family. I'm so very sorry that this is happening.

blindspots · 26/01/2021 15:21

He is gone. We never got out of the hospital

So sorry for your tragic loss x

blindspots · 26/01/2021 15:29

It was as peaceful as dying of cancer gets I guess. Every time the nurses asked do you think he'd like more spine lied we said yes, we figured they knew what they were doing.

I washed him along with my mother and mother in law, and step mother in law after he passed. It felt very cathartic like an almost primal response, like mothers throughout time have had to do

Our other children were there for most of the day. We FaceTimed my duster in another country for the final few hours and he wasn't alone
