606 Words3 Pages

The diagnosis changed my world and how I see it. Pedro’s cancer had returned. Pedro was first diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in March of 1997 before we started dating. His cancer had been in remission for eight years, but we knew something was going on inside of his body. Pedro was having reoccurring night sweats and leg cramps that would jolt him out of bed
