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.

This has brought tears to my eyes. I’m thinking of you and hoping he turns a corner. You have all of our thoughts and prayers. If the worst should happen, we’re all thinking of you and can be a support. Sad FlowersCake

This has brought me to tears for you. I've been having a down night feeling sorry for myself and I read your post and I can't believe how pathetic I am.
You are so so so brave and your son is so so brave and together you can face whatever will come.
I can't imagine your pain, your fear and being separated from the rest of your family when you should all be together. So cruel. I will be thinking of you and your amazing boy and praying his chemo helps tonight XX

Thinking of you OP and your wonderful boy, sending you both strength. He sounds like the boy who comes up with the ideas, the one full of joy and fun and risk taking. Hoping so much he will be back to pushing boundaries soon.

I didn't want to read and run. I'm sending you hugs and I hope you both have all the strength in the world! I hope he gets through it.
I will pray for you both! May God be with you 💐

Please don’t give up hope, I’ve been where you are now (without the CV) and hope is what will get you through this. I know you feel like you can’t do this but I promise you that you can - all your years of being a mum and your love for him will give you the strength and courage to smile at him and reassure him that he’s safe and will be ok.

I will hope and pray that your son, like mine, makes it through his last-chance chemo and is granted the miracle of a cure despite all the odds x

It must be so hard for you not having your OH there with you to share this difficult time - and for him not to be there. Not being together to support each other is unbelievably hard.

I can only send you a hand hold; and tell you that you are in my thoughts.

Notapheasantplucker · 04/04/2020 22:49

I'm so sorry OP, that's heartbreaking. Your son sounds amazing, he must be so brave bless him. I really hope he gets some good news. 💙💙

GoodStuffAnnie · 04/04/2020 22:49

Your wonderful boy! May God give you and him and your family strength. I am with you xxxx

Womenwotlunch · 04/04/2020 22:52

Big virtual hugs Op.

LuluJakey1 · 04/04/2020 22:54

I so hope he turns a corner and you both get many, many more years together and peace of mind. Flowers
