Wow, this is great!!
Montreal Canadiens captain Saku Koivu has received good news from the results of the first part of his chemotherapy treatment for stomach cancer.
"They told me the first half of the chemo program has knocked out most of the bad cells," Koivu said in an interview published in Tuesday's Montreal Gazette. "It also knocked out some of the good ones, but I'm feeling great." Koivu began the second part of his treatment on Monday at Montreal General Hospital. The Gazette said he looked better and felt stronger than when he announced he had cancer last month
"I can see it," Savage said. "He'll be through with the treatments in mid-December. He's hoping to go back to Finland for Christmas, and then I expect he'll start working out. I can see him practicing after the Olympics break and coming back in March ... if not then, April." The second half of Koivu's program, like the first, calls for chemo treatment every other week for the next six weeks.
"He's gaining weight ... he's up to 175 pounds now," Savage said. "He's got it in his mind to come back, and I can see him starting to work out on a regular basis after he's through with this program. He's been feeling so good, he's already skated by himself four or five times.
He plans on going back to Finland for christmas. Then start praticing after the olypics, and then might come back in March.
This is such great news! I mean how cant like the guy?
