Bowel and liver cancer

My son is 39 and been diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer. I'm hearbroken. Can't stop crying. I can't visit him because of covid, he doesn't want me there when he takes his last breath. He's chosen someone else. I have to respect his wishes. Was told he only has 4 weeks at the most.

  • Hi Knitty,

    I'm so very sorry to hear this about your son and I can only imagine how difficult this must be. I'm not sure of your situation exactly but I can only say that I hope there will be an opportunity to visit him. Hopefully you are in touch and that he knows you are there for him.

    We're always here for support on this forum if you need it, and I hope you find it useful to write things down here.

    Take care of yourself and wishing you all the best,

  • This is so heartbreaking to hear. He is so young at 39 and Covid helps nobody in these situations. So sorry for what you are going through and hope that you at least get time to call or facetime xx
