My son has been sent home after his treatment proved to be unsuccessful and has been told there's no further treatment for him
He is on morphine and spends most of the day asleep. With the covid19 virus I can't visit. I find phone calls difficult and would like some support in what to say. He doesn't want to talk about his illness or say how he feels. He can't go out or do anything and it's limiting and seems a bit mean to say what I've been doing. I live alone and sometimes feel scared that in this time of isolation I may live to regret what I didn't do
