Welcome to Cash Cab- the TV game show that takes place right here in my taxi!
Ready for an over due blog? Here we go.

Sonya is doing great. She's getting her fourth infusion this week , which means she's just about 33% done with the treatments. She's happy. She loves her life. She feels good a hell of a lot more than she feels bad. The nausea from the chemo is controlled with cannabis, as are the discomforts and anxieties associated with going through this, not to mention that she hasn't had the usual problem of loss of appetite. I ask the oncologists why they don't recommend cannabis to ALL their patients. They admit that it works wonders- which is more than the federal government admits-but they are afraid of backlash from the state if they recommend this medicinal weed. Instead, they prescribe Marinol, which is synthetic THC. Sonya's doctor tried telling me that Marinol is pure THC, but I know better- so of course, I told him so. Marinol is synthetic THC in a pill form.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Feeling independent? Maybe spiritually?

First off, Sonya is doing great. She recently had surgery to get a catheter implant for chemo therapy treatment, which we'll be starting next week. It takes a lot of mental strength to subject oneself to 6 months of taking this poison, especially when you're told that the cancer has been removed. The thing is-they give you a 50% chance of it returning when it's stage 3. That's a flip of a coin, and a gamble we're not willing to take. Every two weeks she'll be hooked up to a machine for two days at a time.
In the mean time, she's incredibly awesome!

Sonya and I took a trip to the Canary Islands for a pre-chemo get-away. I took a booking to get us there and I wrestled 4 matches in four days. I have to admit, being back in the ring didn't suck. I'm not ready to live full-time out on the road again, but I'd like to see the NWE take off. Along with myself, the talent consisted of Rikishi, Orlando Jordan, Chris Masters, John Heidenreich, Ultimo Dragon, Juvetude, Vito and many wrestlers you might not know, with many more stars on the way. After I left for home, Raven and Booker T hit the shows. NWE sold out huge WWE size arenas and that along with the first class treatment made me forget the things I don't enjoy about the business.

Stage 3 colon cancer. Laparoscopic surgery to remove it. 6 months of chemo ahead of us. You know what she tells me?

She says she'd rather be going through all this than a divorce with me!
Just to let me know how good of a job I'm doing as a husband. She's so awesome!
I've always said this, but- what an amazing wife!

The incredible strength we have as a team provides us with great power to cope with great and unpleasant times. Our love for life is filled with wonderful memories and an unstoppable desire to have many more. We are grateful for our past and our future, so we'll do what we have to today to keep us healthy for tomorrow.
As you know, this is all new to us. What should we expect from the chemo treatments? I've heard of people getting treatments in the morning and going straight to work. I've also heard of it wearing people down. I understand they've come a long way in recent years, but what should we expect? Is traveling in between rounds an option? I'm asking you.

Sonya and I probably won't know much more about what we'll be going through until June, so we'll keep you posted, as always.

We appreciate the support coming in-from prayers to cards to even running in her name T.?

You fans rock. Enjoy life. It's there for you.

Hello everybody. We want everyone to know that Sonya's surgery went well and she's back home recovering now. I've had her home for one week and after a few miserable days, she's making her comeback. The misery was due to what they called "post-operation illis". After the surgery to remove part of her colon and attach the loose ends, her body took a few extra days to swell intensely, which caused bruising and a lot of discomfort- to say the least. We got her checked out and soon afterwards, swelling went down and everything has been getting better day by day. At this point, we don't know what kind of therapy treatment we're facing but whatever they say to do-we'll do it. We really appreciate all the support that you have been sending our way. The love, prayers, and positive energy made it all the way, as Sonya and I read every comment on my Myspace together and received the attended lift.
All the phone calls, texts, emails and other genuine, straight hearted messages mean a lot to both of us.
Now let me grab Sonya for you. SONYA...?

"Once again you fans have been amazing during challenging times. I still have the cards that I received from the jet-ski accident and I can never forget all the kind wishes. Your personal stories have given me strength in the knowledge that I am in no way alone in this battle, when it can be difficult to keep spirits up. I want to thank all the friends, family and fans that are going through this with us." - ---SVD

We will have an update for everyone at the end of the week. Cards can be sent in care of:
Dominion Distribution
7224 Muholland Drive
Los Angeles, Ca 90068

Please do not send flowers to this address.

I was listening to the Joe McDonnell show on AM570 here in L.A. and his co-hosts Joe Grande and Tim Cates were razzing him on why his phone was going off during the show. Well RVD sent McDonnell a text that Sonya got out of surgery and is doing well. That is good news and I hope her recovery goes well. (RVD revealed that his wife was diagnosed with colon cancer a few days ago).

This afternoon Rob Van Dam posted a blog on his MySpace page annoucing that his wife Sonya has been diagnosed with colon cancer. We wish Rob and Sonya the very best with her treatment, keep her in your prayers. Here's the blog entry from RVD's MySpace:

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.

Hello readers. I hope everyone is well. Let's catch up.
SVD and I had a great time in Portugal. I wrestled Raven on Friday in Santa de Maria Feira, frog splashed Joey Mercury in Elvas, and then we spent a couple of extra days in Lisboa to absorb its beauty. What a gorgeous place this was! Two highlights that stand out from the trip for me follow. In Elvas, everyone was hungry so we all left the arena before the show and traveled across the border to SPAIN to crowd a McDonalds counter with McWrestler Meals.

Hello and Happy Holiday everybody! Hope all is well. In Honor of St. Patrick’s Day this year, how about we all think "green" and do something friendly for the Earth? Maybe throw that empty bottle in the recycle bin instead of the trash, just once. Maybe, just for the holiday, you can refrain from throwing that cigarette butt down on the ground, and actually throw it away! Yay! St. Patty’s Day!
I had fun at the Wonder Con in San Fran a couple weeks ago and then the BTW convention the following week. I actually got to mark out at the starts of the 80’s I grew up with- like the Hart Foundation, Honkey Tonk Man (he can sing and he can dance), Harley Race, and Damn it was good to see Dr. Death Steve Williams!

Here is Part 2 of Live Audio Wrestling’s interview with Rob Van Dam. Catch The LAW every Sunday night at 11pm EST at www.liveaudiowrestling.com and on Hardcore Sports Radio on Sirius Channel 186

Jason Agnew : Lets get into the uh, your big push. Easily the biggest push of your career came in the spring of 2006 when they put the WWE and ECW titles on you. That push came to a halt of course after you and Sabu were pulled over on the highway on the way to a show and were in possession of marijuana. Now do you feel that the company reacted in the right way to what you guys did?

Greetings everybody. I hope 2008 is treating you great!

You may have caught one of my interviews I've done recently, to promote RVD TV. Fans that don't read my blogs and only know the man with all the moves might be surprised at my honesty. That will be consistent, as I don't lie. I'm not saying that I've never told a lie in my life, but that's what growing is all about-looking back always shows a lesser you. If I enjoyed lying, I could have delivered the promos that the wrestling business wanted to here-about how my championship match next week meant more to me than anything else in the world and blah, blah, yawn. I couldn't have cared less. Oh. don't get me wrong.
