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

No words Flowers

I am so sorry. There are no words that are even remotely adequate. Fuck cancer.

PurpleTygrrr · 21/01/2021 19:44

Fucking bastarding cancer! I am so so sorry that you, your family and friends your beautiful boy are going through this. Thanks

Absolutely devastating news, I am so incredibly sorry. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

SingingSands · 21/01/2021 19:44

Oh darling, there are no words for what you are going through. How can we support you? Feel free to rant here. We are all virtual strangers, but we are here, holding your hands, holding you up.

Magicpaintbrush · 21/01/2021 19:44

I'm so very sorry OP. It takes my breath away how cruel the world can be. Nobody deserves to go through what you and your family are going through. Flowers

CatChant · 21/01/2021 19:45

I am so very sorry. It is heartbreakingly cruel news for your family. Wishing you all strength for the days ahead. You will be in my thoughts. Flowers

I’m so so sorry, my heart breaks for you, I can’t imagine what you are going through.

SapphireSeptember · 21/01/2021 19:46

Oh no, that's terrible. Sad Your poor wee lad. I'm so sorry this is happening. Flowers

Onwardsandupwardswego · 21/01/2021 19:46

I would like to say it's shit proper shit. I think often people offer platitudes. They did when my sister was murdered and actually what I needed was for people to go that is just absolutely fucking awful.

Enko · 21/01/2021 19:47

So sorry op

Bamboo15 · 21/01/2021 19:47

Even in the middle of a pandemic and all the terrible things that are happening at the moment this is the saddest and most heartbreaking thing I’ve heard for ages. I’m so sorry. I hope you can cherish the time you have left with your son x

Onedropbeat · 21/01/2021 19:48

I’m so sorry op Flowers

GreekGod · 21/01/2021 19:48

I am so sorry, I am praying for you and for your son and your family.

Happymum12345 · 21/01/2021 19:48

I’m so, so sorry.

Echobelly · 21/01/2021 19:48

This is so cruelly unfair. You are entitled to feel whatever you feel right now without feeling guilty about it.

toastfiend · 21/01/2021 19:48

Oh OP, there are absolutely no words, but I'm so very, very sorry, as completely inadequate as that is. Thinking of you and your darling boy.

Fuck cancer.

sage46 · 21/01/2021 19:50

So sorry that you are facing this, don't know what else to say xxx

Talk4000 · 21/01/2021 19:50

I'm sure this blind hope and as you said no treatment options but copying and pasting just in case. A clinical trial for cancer with no treatment options that has come back. I'm sorry I don't know what sort of cancer your son has. I wish you only the best and I am so sorry. No words.

AliasGrape · 21/01/2021 19:52

I’m so very sorry OP. Fucking bastard cancer.

canipressthebackbuttonplease · 21/01/2021 19:52

We may be internet strangers but you, your baby and your DH are in my thoughts. I'm so sorry xx

CuppaZa · 21/01/2021 19:52

What a horribly cruel world we live in. I’m so so sorry @blindspots. I can’t even begin to imagine what you, he and your family are going through.
Sending strength, love and hugs

Thank you all for reaching out.

It is just the absolute worst and the day we hoped would never come. But at the same time we've been putting on our brave faces every day being strong for the future and hoping for the best.

And now the mask has come off and I don't know if I'll ever be able to put it back on. I think I will just be broken now
