Criss Angel is opening up about his son's cancer treatments.
The illusionist shared details of his son's treatment in a new interview as he presented his eponymous Magic Wand Award to the Driscoll family at hisAngel revealed earlier this month that his son's cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, had returned. Criss received the first Magic Wand Award in 2016, in recognition of both the time and resources he committed to making wishes come true. Now he presents the award each year to a Make-A-Wish volunteer who embodies that same giving spirit.
"As a parent going through this myself, you kind of see it from both sides of the perspective. I was somebody who used to just work with children that were sick. Then I had a son who was diagnosed with pediatric cancer," Angel said in the interview."So, I understand, with a son who just had a relapse, what it's really like, moment by moment, and how difficult it is to look at your child who should be worrying about what toy they're playing with.
"My son will be 8 years old when he's done and six years of his life, he has been doing chemo treatments. I am going through this now," he continued."Stephanie [Driscoll] has been a friend. Her family is beautiful and amazing. Her little daughter, Avery, was truly an angel. I had the honor of knowing her for years, seeing her when she was in remission, seeing her when she had relapsed.
