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 have no words. The ultimate nightmare. My darling I wish you strength and love. I am spiritual and it has helped me get through some very difficult times in my life. You will get through somehow.. massive hug and love to you..

Love and strength to you and your family Flowers

Montysauras · 21/01/2021 20:02

It’s shit. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through... my DH had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at a similar age, his parents were told to say their goodbyes, twice. He’s now late 20s with a child of his own. Kids at that age are bloody miraculous. Take care of yourself x

So sorry OP Flowers

ZippedyDooDa · 21/01/2021 20:04

I'm so sorry OP. This world is so devastatingly cruel and unfair Flowers

Pheasantplucker2 · 21/01/2021 20:04

Oh my goodness, this must be unbearable. I have no words of wisdom, but I am thinking and praying for you and your family, and hope that he is made as comfortable as possible, so that you can spend some happy moments with him now.

Much love to you all, I am so very sorry. xxx

Soulstirring · 21/01/2021 20:05

Oh, this took my breath away. My heart breaks for you. As a parent you’re living my worst nightmare and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I’m so sorry for you and your family and for your little boy. Life is unbearably and unfathomably cruel. I hope in the dark months ahead you can cling to the happy memories and take one step forward at a time.

Do what you need to do to survive this. Sending you love OP xxx
