so...I go in for radiation today. I'm wearing a Pearl Jam shirt. One of the techs says "we can put on some Pearl Jam if you'd like."

next thing you know, I'm laying on the table, the zap noises are happening and Evenflow is coming down from above. Is that service or what?

What? You ain't got no PJ socks? Huh hum! Let's get Rob some PJ socks. We all know the feets get cold in a hospital. We can ask 10C to put those anti-slippy things on both sides so Rob doesn't have to remember which way to put them on. Hello, 10C?

Rob, be and get well!

Peace

That's pretty freaking cool of them! I'd request it every time...or better yet, find out if you can bring in an ipod with a playlist you like

xoxox to you Rob!

Sorry to hear it man. Luckily though, it sounds like you have a really good prognosis, and you have an even more positive attitude.

On a side note, I always thought you were a lot younger judging from your posts, haha. You seem pretty cool though, I always think it's awesome that people still think young, instead of feeling like they have to "grow up" and get boring. Best of luck to ya mate, but I think you've got this handled.

Your possitivity is so great,your a person who has a place in my heart...
Nice they have played pj during radiation for you,i realy hope it helps to take that a little better.
Pearl jam hits me always right in the soul everytime when i hear it and lately i been thinking of you and how you keep it all togheter and that makes the music even better knowing that you find comfort in it...

Sending thought and prayers to you and hope your doing fine and get well soon

Much respects and lots of hugs..

That's awesome that they let you have PJ on, hope it might help take your mind off it all a little.

Happy Saturday Rob! Hope you're sitting around watching cartoons, eating Kap N Krunch and wearing your footy pajamas!

Be and get well! Still sending positive Chi your way and keeping you in my thoughts!

Peace!

ROB IS THE MAN!!!

Thank you SO much for your support of Bugs Amongst the Waves!! Please concentrate on staying strong and healthy!

Thinking of you today and sending you thoughts, love, hugs and all good things

on the edge...

My name is Tom. I'm a firefighter with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue. I've known Rob for several years. Although, after seeing how many posts he has on this forum many of you may know him better than I do. (pretty sure we haven't had 6000 conversations) I do know that if Rob approaches his fight with cancer with the same passion that he has for his wife, the SF Giants and life in general then cancer hasn't a "snowballs chance in hell" against him. Rob sent me an e-mail the other day that said "wait 'til I tell you what some 10c members did for me." After reading the thread today my wife and I were completely blown away by the outpouring of support for Rob. We found ourselves crying by the end (gotta get those toxins out Rob considers each and every one of you true friends. To the person or group of people who put together the care package: The contents of that box was more powerful than any dose of chemo or radiation that Rob will receive throughout the course of his treatment! Rob is a superfan of PJ. We've shared music, videos (his extensive collection made me question my PJ fanhood) and stories about the band. Like the one when I was working security at the Alladin in Las Vegas in '93 and Eddie was skateboarding up and down the line of people waiting to get into the venue. They were all oblivious...forest for the trees thing I guess. Classic E.V. move! What Rob won't tell you is that he was a great fire captain who had a positive influence on countless lives and trained hundreds of firefighters to do the same over his career. He was outspoken when the time was right and was highly respected for that alone. In the twilight of his career when he had the seniority to bid to a slower area of town Rob chose to stay at Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Central Station only blocks from the Fremont Street Experience where he felt he could do the most good. It's one of the busiest houses in the country! Rob please let me know if there's anything Lucy or I can do for you guys. What a support network: Pearl Jammers and Firefighters. Doesn't get much better than that brotha! Best of luck and trust in music...it's never let me down. See you in Vancouver my friend

After I learned that Rob was a firefighter I knew he had to be an awesome one despite joking with me once that all firefighters want to do is sit around and be lazy! It's great to read this from one of the people who's known him on and off this board.
