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.
RVD writes the following:
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.
