CMU’s Bonamego set for ‘huge challenge’ vs. MSU

First things first, as always with Central Michigan first-year coach John Bonamego. He said today he’s “doing a little bit better every day” after finishing radiation treatments last month for cancer.

“Most of my symptoms have gone by the wayside,” said Bonamego, whose cancer started in his tonsil and spread to a lymph node. “I’m still feeding myself primarily through a feeding tube. But I’m getting to the point now where I’m able to tolerate some solid (food), and I’m hoping that continues, because that’s been the biggest thing right now. I’ve lost over 50 pounds, which, in my case, wasn’t necessarily a terrible thing.
