RVD TV Watchers

Hello everybody. Hope the weekend's great for you.

Technical difficulties prevented Friday's show from being posted on time, but relax. The RVD TV editor is replacing his crashed hard drive and everything will continue smoothly. I expect the show to be up tonight ( Sunday) and it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway-sorry for the inconvenience. That's coming, and of course a new episode on Friday.

RVD 5 Star Comic ( episode # 21) is the footage you've been waiting to see from my stand-up comedy shows. To date, I've been up on stage 4 times and this show has highlights from all of them, including footage of Jay Mohr, Eric Bischoff, Justin McCully, Daniel Puder and more. I'll get back on stage when the energy is right but we've been plenty busy at the Casa de Van Dam.

Sonya is feeling good and has really appreciated all the support. We'll be finding out more information about her chemo treatments at the beginning of June.
I do have a lot of other stuff going on but it all takes a back seat at the moment. Fill you in on that later.

Keep watching RVD TV for some awesome episodes that I've already got waiting to show and the kick ass episodes I'll continue to film.

You want Warrior? We got Warrior. Believe it or not...we got him in Friends in High Places! With head of Sports Legacy Institute Chris Nowinski!

Also coming is footage from the comic conventions, the Portugal trip, Jack Herer, Shelly Martinez, and much, much more that I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Have an outstanding day!
RVD

Here's the Deal

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 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.

update on Sonya

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.”

We will have an update for everyone at the end of the week. Cards can be sent in care of:
