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.

I'm going home to see DS2 tonight. I haven't seen him for 10 days.

I don't want to leave DS1 though.

It's awful either way.

How old is ds2? I bet he must miss his db.

Keep posting we care ❤

It will be wonderful to see your other son. You will get love and strength from each other. It's an utterly rotten situation to be in. I am sorry.

Much much love to you all.

There's nothing I can say that will help OP but I am thinking of you all. I'm glad you will get time with your other son, I'm sure that will help you both. Take as much care of yourself as it is possible to do in this situation x

All still stable. We should get the decision today or tomorrow to find out if he can have the new treatment.

I'm very on edge. Please keep everything crossed.
