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.

Sorry isn’t enough.

@aloneinthenight I'm so very sorry. Even though your son may not have known what was happening he knew you were there, he knew he was loved and he was not alone. They were the only things that gave me any comfort in those very early days.

Go very gently on yourself. Gentle hugs from me to you and your family xx
