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.

Another one who had followed this thread hoping for good news. Can't imagine what you are going through. Nobody should have to go through this. Your poor boy.

I hope you can get through this as a family and can give each other strength through what will be very dark times.
