No Reason To Be Nervous
by By Ron Montri in the Monroe News
Nervous? Why would Rob Raymond be nervous just because he was coaching his first varsity basketball game?
After what he has been through, coaching the boys basketball team at Gibraltar Carlson is like a walk in the park.
“I’m not nervous at all,’’ Raymond said Friday night before Carlson took the floor at Airport and presented him with his first victory.
A win or a loss on the basketball court is minor compared to a brain tumor, Hodgkin’s disease, heart surgery and back surgery.
Raymond was 18 years old when he learned about the brain tumor. He has a scar that starts just above one ear and runs across the top of his head almost to the other ear.
Then he learned that he had a rare form of cancer. It was Stage 4B, just a notch below the most serious type. He had his first chemotherapy treatment on his 19th birthday.
Raymond beat the cancer, but the radiation treatments were so strong that his heart and lungs were damaged. He eventually had triple by-pass heart surgery. Then it was back surgery.
But today he is counting his blessings. He met Julie at a cancer walk for life and they have been married 11 years. Doctors once told Raymond that he might not be able to have children, but they have a son and a daughter.
