— #EVAN REVELA QUE TUVO CÁNCER... 🦌: En 4to de primaria me diagnosticaron un linfoma maligno. Empezó como una tos que parecía resfriado, pero jugando fútbol me quedé sin aire y en el hospital me enteré de que era cáncer 🦌: El tratamiento fué duro, pero me mostraba fuerte por mi mamá, en el hospital tocaba la guitarra en shows para pacientes, aunque quería ser cantante, en ese momento solo pensaba en vivir e irme a casa al ver morir a otros niños 🦌: Logré superarlo, pero al volver me molestaban porque mi cabello apenas crecía por la quimio y me faltaba energía; para encajar lo aguanté, pero me volví más introvertido, tenía mucho sin pensar en eso; duele recordarlo... #Cáncer #Superación #SaludMental
