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 lovely, thinking of you

Wishing you and your son every good wish, glad your husband is en route, hope he can spend time with you both. Chemo is a strange creature, can rear up a few days later with amazing bloods, you can't predict. But hamdhold for any outcome. Been here. Flowers
