11-Year-Old Cancer Patient Rocco on the Road to Recovery
June 23, 2021
BROAD CHANNEL — Rocco Pisani is hitting home runs on and off the field.
“I’m still making the most of every moment I have with family and friends,” Rocco said in early May.
Now, he’s entered maintenance — the second half of his treatment — and has been doing well.
Rocco, who wants to be a personal trainer when he grows up, is building up his muscles to get back on the field doing what he loves — playing on Catholic Youth Organization baseball team with St. Camillus-St. Virgilius Parish in Rockaway Beach. He takes precautions while playing sports including wearing a mask, wearing a protective plate over his chemo port, and keeping an eye on his blood counts.
