Being 36 and weighing in at only 37

pounds may not sound like your average
size for a super hero, but for those who
knew Dominic Osorio, aka The
Dominator, he was everything a hero
should be and more. Shortly after his 5th
birthday, Dominic was diagnosed with a
low grade Glioma. He began
chemotherapy and radiation therapy in
May 2008, which meant he had to lie still
- a hard task for little boys. How was he
able to accomplish this?
Like most young boys, Dominic loved
super heroes. Dominics grandmother had
given him the nickname, The Dominator
on her daily visits to help him with his
therapy. Dominics mother and nurses
made a comic book starring a super hero
character named The Dominator. In the
story, the little boy was able to turn into
The Dominator and defeat the evil
megazoid in his head by lying completely
still in a huge rotating radiation chamber
that shot out bright red laser beams.
Acting as the The Dominator, Dominic
was able to lie still for every treatment
through February 2009.
Life after treatment was very different, as
Dominic was partially paralyzed on his
right side. However, although he could no
longer tie his shoes, ride his bike or even
play his beloved video games, Dominic
always had a smile on his face. His
courage and strength was an inspiration to
people of all ages.
In June 2009, Dominic developed yet
another tumor, and slipped into a coma in
September. On November 13, 2009,
Dominic earned his angel wings at age 7.
