 When the world saw dvd, we knew we were on a sliming
rage. Hence we got pencil thin car audio set ups,
portable printers and of course tablet laptops. |
Rob Van Dam has posted a blog online in which he reveals he and his wife
Sonya got some very disturbing news recently. As always, Robert and Sonya
Szatkowski (Rob Van Dam and his wife) remain very positive, and are
obviously handling this situation with a great deal of class and
dignity.

The C word
One
good thing about spreading positive energy and encouraging an optimistic
approach to life- when it comes time to get a taste of my own medicine,
it's good. Still, it may not be fun to be put to the test. It may be quite
unpleasant.
After
thinking of several ways to put this, I decided to give it to you
straight- just like we got it. After months of chasing down the origin of
stomach cramps, we got the news that Sonya has cancer in her colon.
Obviously, this was not something we wanted to hear, and were not at all
prepared for it. This is the kind of thing that we hear about happening to
other people. Us? Really?
I'm
sure that a lot of you realize that cancer is way too common. In fact, I
know that many of you are all too familiar with what we are
experiencing.
This
is very personal and I understand if you would choose to keep it on the
down-low. One of Sonya's first thoughts was that if she could have colon
cancer (being a 32 year old, lean, active, and healthy eating female that
barely hits 3 digits on the weight scale), "We need to tell everyone it
could be them!"
Months
of testing showed nothing of this nature. The blood tests and everything
else they did could not detect the cancer until the dreaded colonoscopy.
Sonya wants everyone to know that you HAVE to get checked. We found a huge
research center where we are getting this taken care of. They have a lot
of information about the subject, in case you might be searching
City
of Hope.
Keep
in mind, this is curable and Sonya has surgery scheduled for the end of
the week to get this thing taken out. We're totally kicking its ass. We
got this.
We
know that we have a lot of people praying and sending positive energy, and
we appreciate it. Keep it up. And don't tell Sonya's dad, if you know him.
We'll do it when the time is right.
This
will soon be a thing of the past. Sonya is amazingly strong and ready to
fight.
This
will be a squash match!
Anyone
wondering what we're up to...it's this. Nothing else
matters.
I'll
update you soon.
Take
care of yourselves.
Enjoy
life.
