Criss said that about a year into the first remission he noticed one of Johnny's testicles was 'swollen' and that that is often 'one of the signs' of cancer's return in boys.Angel family announced via Instagram that Johnny Crisstopher has entered into remission for the second time and would be ending cancer treatment.
Criss now wants to use his celebrity status and wide-reaching platform to advocate for families also dealing with the devastation that comes with pediatric cancer.
