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

Absolutely heartbreaking. Life is so cruel and unfair.

So sorry OP. DD is the same age and I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. Flowers

Sorry posted too soon.

Cancer is a parent’s worst nightmare that you’re sadly living and covid has made treatment/life/hospital so much harder. We’re nearing the point with my daughters leukaemia where we’re 1 relapse away from no more options. Life sucks, cancer sucks and these kids are just so bloody brave. Sending you so much love and hoping you get to treasure every precious second you guys have. Xx

I'm so sorry. This is the worst possible thing that a mother could go through and I can only imagine your pain. I'll selfishly have to hide this thread as I have kids the same age and can't read things like this.

Can’t imagine the pain your going through, he’s your baby. Sending love and strength x
