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 I am so so sorry. There really are no words.

Although in time I hope you can take comfort that he didn’t know anything.

I am so very sad to read this and so sorry for your loss Flowers I came across this thread a while ago and been checking for updates, hoping to read positive news about your lovely son. I was excited to hear about the new treatment and that there was still hope. My thoughts are with your family right now.
