Howdy Everyone! I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July holiday. The Becerra family attended two gatherings with several of my "Rittman buddies" and their families. The highlights were seeing my buddy Tim, creator of my blog, and his daughter, while viewing the Wooster fireworks from my other Rittman buddy, Vic's house surrounded with more Rittman buddies.
Currently, I am at Akron City Hospital going through another round of chemo until Friday. Overall, it is my fourth bout with chemo, but it is considered the third "maintenance" round.
Today, a slight concern was my white blood count was low, which could be residual effects from the previous round of chemo (week of June 8), and my doctor debated whether we should wait to do chemo next week and let my counts come up a little. The decision was made to go ahead, which is what I wanted . . . GAME ON, LET'S ROCK-N-Roll! I realize these comments show my "Rittmanite" in me, but these are comments of victory! In addition, this could be my last round of chemo, and I can only praise God for getting me to where I am on my cancer journey.
Another praise is that I was able to spend three days last week in my office at Woodridge High School, and it felt great! I haven't been back as principal since March, and it was good for me mentally to get back to what I love to do. Once again, I can't express enough appreciation for the cards, prayers, and words of encouragement from all of you.
Many of you will never know how important you are to my family, and especially to me. I do not feel alone as I go through this trial (James 1:2-4). I will keep all of you informed, especially next week when counts have a tendency to "bottom out" and I run a fever. Until then, best wishes!
God Bless!

Game On!
So glad to hear that you were able to spend time at WHS. We are looking forward to seeing you in the halls and at games this fall. Good luck with this next round of chemo - you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Mic,
We cannot wait to have you back at Woodridge. I'm a little concerned that you are swaying back to the Rittman way, you need to get back to our side. Anyway, our whole family has been and will continue to pray for you and your family.
love, the bissell's
