Marquette fan in need of some prayers

[strotty]

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.

Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/LukeStrot

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Blackhat]

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.
