Today, Rocco is a healthy, happy and affectionate 4-year-old who loves to ride his electric scooter.
"The physician assistant came back and said, 'We just wanted you to know that we’ve contacted the oncology team.' And that was the moment that I knew that our lives were about to change," DiMaggio told TODAY."We went from one day celebrating him being potty trained to the next day having to fight cancer with him."The mother and son had to be rushed in an ambulance straight to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
"Sometimes I can’t even say her name without crying," DiMaggio recalled."I say Cassie is our angel on Earth. She truly is. That’s what she is to us."During Rocco's treatment, DeMatteis stayed by his side. She played Spider-Man with him and held him when things got scary. With DeMatteis in his corner, Rocco went through five rounds of chemotherapy, two major surgeries and the removal of his kidney.
"She had all this energy. She literally lit up the room," DiMaggio said. When she walked in, DiMaggio knew things would be OK. And he was overjoyed to see DeMatteis again. What's DeMatteis' secret?"It’s smiling and being there for the kids, and connecting with the families," she told TODAY co-anchor Hoda Kotb. She considers it"the greatest honor" to be able to help kids in this way, she said."And I’m privileged to go through it with them."
