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.

Oh my goodness. Terrible news and I've been thinking about you since your original post.

I expect it will take many months to truly sink in and I am thankful for you and him the end came quickly.

If you need a more personal chat, please dm me. I haven't been in your shoes but I lost my dad to cancer a few months ago (non comparable, I know).

I will light a candle for your wonderful son tonight x
