Greetings everyone! I've been up since 3 am worring about the news that I have an aggressive form of cancer that will kill me in 1-5 years. How am I supposed to tell my son? He is in FCI Manchester and they have been locked down for more than 2 weeks. The weekend prior to that, I drove 1,300 (RT) and my son's unit was on group punishment...so, the first challenge is to actually be allowed to speak to my son. Or should I write to him? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!

I would recommend speaking with him about it if you can. My mother has stage 4 cancer, so I know what it’s like to get that news. Have you called the facility to tell them you have an emergency and need to inform your son of this? If you’d like, I can send an email to the prison administration to urge them to allow him to speak with you. We will send our prayers and positive thoughts. Please let us know of any way we can help. I’m sorry you are going through this, but keep fighting! People have proven doctors wrong all the time.
