Hey all,
My brother, Luke, was diagnosed with cancer two days ago. He is 17 years old and already defeated this disease twice in his life, but is in for another battle beginning Wednesday when he begins chemotherapy. If you guys can please keep Luke in your prayers, it would mean the world to me. The power of prayer and positive energy have gotten my family through this ordeal twice, and I know it will get us through a third time.
Also, I started a Facebook page for Luke which will have pictures and updates as he goes through this journey. Luke is hoping we can get the page to 2,500 fans.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope the mods don't mind, but a motto one of Luke's fellow cancer survivors came up with is: "Make today your bitch." I know Luke will each and every day until this nasty disease is gone.
So sorry to hear that. Sending good thoughts your way.
Need prayers? You got it!
I'll put in some overtime at mass today. Wish Luke well.
Our prayers for your family strotty.
Strotty,
Sorry to hear the news on your brother. We will keep Luke and your family in our prayers and hope to hear great news in upcoming weeks on his recovery.
Luke is a true Warrior! Honored to do so with the prayers. Love the pic with Campana and Rizzo at Children's. Tony and Riz should be his inspiration that he WILL beat it again.
Prayers coming your brothers way from this MU household
Glad I pulled up MUscoop before going to mass today. You've got prayers from me and the children going with me today.
We also will be praying for your brother and family.
Our prayers are with Luke and your family.
Sorry to hear strots. My prayers will be going Luke's way and keep us updated on his progress. Wish nothing but the best for you and your family!
Hang in there Mark, Luke and your entire family will be in my prayers.

My 7 and 4 yr. olds lit candles for your brother today. Our prayers are with your family. I also added your brother's name to the prayer book at St. Benedict's in Fontana.
Now tell your brother to get kick some tail.
Book it. The power of prayer and positive energy are powerful forces, and I know all these great thoughts from the MUScoop community with help Luke and your family fight through this.
Sending MANY prayers your way...
We'll pray that the third time is the charm and that when he beats it this time it is for good. Many Blessings to Luke and your family.

Prayers go out to your brother strotty.
You got it! This should be a reminder for most of us how good we have it. Best of luck and may he recover and be done with this forever.
Keep on fighting the good fight! Your bro and family.
Done. Wishing him the best. From what I've heard about Buzz, he would be happy to say a prayer for Luke too if you sent him a message.
Prayers and best wishes for your brother, Mark. He's already kicked cancer's backside twice. Third time will bethe charm.
Prayers coming from this MU fan. Love the motto. Inspired by the responses and support of other MU fans.
Wow, there are some pretty incredible people on here. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for keeping Luke in your thoughts and prayers. He starts chemotherapy Wednesday and will need major prayers. Luke and I will keep updates rolling on the Facebook page.
I also have the privilege of covering Buzz's Bunch in two weeks. It will be emotional for me, but I look forward to attending each year.
