  • I am so sorry this is happening.

     

    This disease destroys so much.  What does your son want to do with regards to his treatment?

     

    You are a wonderful Mum and I am sure you are a massive comfort and support to him.  Spend every minute you can with your beautiful boy and hold onto the memories of him.  Xxxxxx

  • I am oh so sorry for your son,  cancer is evil!    I just lost my son he was only 34 

    My heart goes out to you xxxx

     

    Just make as many memories as possible and have him home if you can.

    This has been the crulest loss I've ever been through ... I hope you have a strong family or support ... just wanted to send you a vertual hug...and to say your not alone here .... Chrissie x x 

  • Hi

    I am so sorry that your son is going through this, and naturally it is causing you a lot of emotional pain.

    I will mention both of you in my prayers tonight and ask that healing be sent to both of you to help you cope.  I have not had to face your circumstances and so I can only guess as to what mum and son do in such a situation.  I have 4 sons, you see, and a daughter.  I am on here because a large polyp has been found on my duodenum.  So I think I would be trying to spend as much time with my family member as suited you both.  And I think I would want to reflect on my life intertwined with theirs.  The joy and the anxieties it has brought up.  Maybe I would try to ask if there was anything that was especially weighing on their mind.  For sure I would want to thank them for coming into my life and for the love and laughter that had been shared,  Hey I don't know, but I want you to know people are thinking and feeling concerned for both xx
