My son may be dying

Just that.

He has cancer, they have not been able to control it.

They have given him one last chemotherapy to see if it can turn a corner but his body may not be able to tolerate it and it may not work.

We have been told to prepare ourselves for him to deteriorate suddenly.

My husband can't be with us because my son also has Coronavirus so we are in isolation and he is with our other son.

Today has been a better day. Everything has been a lot more stable.

And now DH is here I can stand down a little, so had a good long sleep this afternoon.

Hopefully the chemotherapy can work it's magic a little more.
