Patrick
Patrick’s diagnosis was very quick and unexpected. He decided to stay positive throughout his treatment, and followed his doctor’s advice very strictly. He missed spending time with his brothers and doing normal things, and initially felt out of place when he returned to his normal life. He is grateful for everyone who supported him.
