My son may be dying

[aloneinthenight]

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.

Dont worry about catching Coronavirus. You will cross that bridge if you come to it. One step at a time.

We are here with you. And thinking about you and your son

Oh OP... it is just the cruelest thing my 28 year old younger sister died in January from cancer just four weeks from diagnosis. And I know how emotionally and utterly draining it is being in 'that room'. It's just horrid. There is nothing that I can say or do to make things any better, but I honestly feel your pain, helplessness and anger

Sending you a virtual hug and hand hold

Sending love and a hand hold OP

OP, I hope chaplain can offer you someone to speak with, you has experience in this hospital setting. I'm sorry the findings this morning are not as positive as we would have hoped, let's have hope that over the next 24 hours things improve.

We are all with you OP.

I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling. I am sending my love and all good thoughts to you and your gorgeous boy.

OP, I’m so sorry you, your son and your family are going through this. It’s heartbreaking. 💐💐💐

duckpancake I'm so sorry to hear that.

Chaplain was I've text as he's not allowed in the ward at the moment. It was all a bit 'thoughts and prayers'

Been thinking about your wonderful biking, go carting, climbing, fearless son OP

Praying for every ounce of strength and courage for you both and just know you have so much goodwill being sent your way

Sending strength for you and your son, and for the rest of your family 💐

I can't offer much but I couldn't read & run. Sending love & strength OP

My thoughts are with you and your family OP 💐💐

You, your son and your family are in my thoughts.

My husband is on his way. I'm not sure how we're going to manage it but anything is better than us being apart at the moment.

My other son is with my sister.

Glad your husband is on his way and your sister can look after your other son.

I'm glad you'll have the support of your husband. For what it's worth I'm here & I'm thinking about you & willing you & your son on x

You must be in unimaginable pain. I wish I could hug you.

I also wish I could hug you. What a beautiful, brave boy your son sounds.

Sending you love.

I've been thinking of you and your lovely boy all day. Please don't feel alone, there are lots of us out here.

Sending love ❤️💐

Wishing you the best and thoughts

Sending my love to you and your very brave son i hope something can be done for him xxx

Sending my love to you all, your son sounds wonderful.

Thinking of you xx

Procedures should really go out the window, so good your DH is on his way. I think in some way, even if your son is going in and out of consciousness, he will know that you and your DH are there.

Even if your DS goes in and out of consciousness, he will know you are there and that will be a huge comfort to him.

Holding your hand....
