(CBS) It was a nagging cough that first sent Chuck Pandrea's wife Janet to her family doctor in Florida. She was then referred a specialist.
"It will be four years Sunday that she died," Chuck Pandrea says of his wife. "April 2nd. And to this day, I keep waiting for her, for her to walk in the door," he says, wiping back tears.
"He confirmed that she had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the very early stages. And the sooner we could start treatment, the better it would be," he says of the doctor.
Janet was told she needed chemotherapy.
"I went with her every time to, to the treatments. And she'd be sitting in that chair just religiously thinking it's going to make her feel better, make her better. And it didn't happen again," Pandrea says.
