Tommaso Ciampa penned an emotional message on Instagram after the therapy. He writes, “Today was my final stem cell treatment. They have this awesome tradition at @bioxcellerator where you write what you are hoping to achieve on your stem cell bag. I wrote โ€œdance with buddiesโ€ which is Willowโ€™s term for wrestling, and โ€œplay tagโ€ because it breaks my heart that I canโ€™t run and play with my 4 year old.”
