Symptoms of Leukemia in Spanish – A Story from Guatemala

Today we're starting a brand new series — one of the most meaningful things Doc Molly has made for this podcast. On a recent trip to Guatemala, she sat down with Luis González, one of the directors of the Cultural Spanish School in San Pedro La Laguna, who shared the story of his late wife, Ingrid, diagnosed with leukemia in 2018. Over this series, we'll follow her story from the very first symptoms through diagnosis, treatment, and her passing — learning the Spanish to talk about all of it along the way.
