From Tragedy to Triumph

When Domenic's wife, Barbie, was diagnosed with a rare cancer called thymoma for the second time in eight years at age 33, he was confused, overwhelmed, and scared. Their sons were ages 3 and 10 months, and he had just started a new position as an in-house lawyer for a large international bank. While he read tons of inspirational stories about how individuals triumphed over illness, Domenic had trouble finding resources that could help him cope with the sickness of a loved one and show him how to use that turmoil as motivation for making impactful life changes. In From Tragedy to Triumph, Domenic recounts Barbie's courageous battle with rare cancer as a young mother and how it has motivated him to live a better life, filled with passion, empathy, and gratitude. Hundreds of thousands of people are being diagnosed with cancer every year, and Domenic hopes that they and their loved ones can use this story as a source of inspiration and healing.
