Journey
Diagnosis
Dominick
Age: 32
Diagnosed with Diffused Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in November of 2013.
Treatment
Dominick was first treated with chemotherapy and found success in immunotherapy – one of over 1,000 ongoing clinical trials we provide.
Recovery
Dominick’s response to immunotherapy was immediate. His first scan showed a drastic improvement. Months later, the scan revealed he was cancer-free and has remained so since the summer of 2015.
Life
Dominick is back to his active lifestyle – golfing, working out and often traveling for work. He’s getting married to the woman of his dreams in November.
“To this day, I can't believe what a drastic change I experienced, from the lowest of low with chemotherapy to doing an immunotherapy, it's a world of difference. It's your own body's immune system fighting the cancer. It's like Star Trek future stuff.” — Dominick
