For El Moussa, the most daunting aspect was not just the cancer but the concern of not being present for his family, especially his infant daughter.
“The most frightening thing for me was not knowing if I would survive, as I was young with a family and a daughter, Taylor. The scariest thought was not being around to raise my little girl.”
