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 came across this thread yesterday and you have been on my mind all day.

I look at my gorgeous DS who is a couple of years younger than yours and feel physically sick at the thought of having to go through what you are dealing with. What helps you get through the day? Do you want to tell us how amazing your son is? Some of the things that make him special? Here to listen if that helps.

Good luck with this latest treatment. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thinking of you today alone

Please know that, at least in all our thoughts, you are not alone ❤️

You are enough in this.
You do not need to be stronger, better or try harder.

You are surviving in a situation that would devastate anyone.
You may not feel ‘strong’ but you are. You’re there. You are.

Love and peace and light to all of you today.
