TEMPLE CITY (CBS) — On Monday night, Manuel Sosa, 44, a Temple City man battling end-stage liver disease and Hepatitis C from a childhood blood transfusion, married his bride in an intimate ceremony at The Maxwell House in Pasadena.
After struggling through several years of testing and treatment of this aggressive disease, Sosa’s last option is a liver transplant. Although he is finally on the list, there are many complications to maneuver around, and his wish was to marry Adriana Tafoya before it was too late.
