I had put the pieces together that he was trying to tell me to give the message to everyone here from him, to say his goodbye while he was in coma-like. I got the pw thank you DE and thank you for listening to my cry and talk.

Thank you for the reality check, Lukas. Although I did not know you personally, I've followed your posts on this forum for some time now. Your friendly manners and kindness toward members on the forum were very apparent, you were a true gentleman, and a true friend to anyone who have had the blessings of interactions with you. The good deeds you have done here shine brightly, and your legacy of giving will not be forgotten, Lukas. We will cary on the torch that you have lit and passing forward your kindness to others. May you rest in peace and smile down on us from heaven, my Friend.

Hey all

Luciano, Lee, sorry, I'm going to step up and take control of this matter.
If anyone would like to donate money to Lukas's family, send it to me, and I'll forward it over.


I was fortunate enough to talk to Lukas a decent amount, it was great to get texts from him and heartbreaking at the same time.
Personally I could feel that all he wanted before his passing was for his family to be ok, and to not struggle in the event of his passing...
I had the pleasure of speaking to Jennifer tonight for 30-45 minutes and hearing her talk about him. And it's really heartbreaking, and really heart warming at the same time.
I definitely took Lukas's passing really bad, there are a few guys who KNOW how it was for me...

All that said, now that he has passed, we need to look out for those that are still alive, namely Jennifer and the kids. (One is 9 and the other is 11. Sorry I don't know their names Jennifer)
Jennifer shouldn't have to worry about bills during a time like this, and the kids need all the support they can get.


To make a donation, shoot it over to me and I'll send it to her. My PayPal is irangeles@aol.com




Thank you all

I have never gone through or live with or experience cancer with anyone before.
This is my first and hope is the last as it was very painful for me to witness.
I like to share with everyone my first personal experience: Cancer Sucks! I never gave up on hope when doctors said there's no cure, I never gave up on my husband I fight with him through the difficult journey as a team. He suffer, I suffer. He's in pain, I'm in pain, He cry, I cry but he's never alone. We do it together.

MY EXPERIENCE … LOVE LAUGH LIVE WITH CANCER
News of a cancer diagnosis is never easy to process. Hearing that your husband has been diagnosed can result in emotions ranging from anger and sadness to fear and guilt. Throughout the treatment and recovery process that follows, the emotional roller coaster will likely continue.
I watched my husband endure the pain associated with cancer; he experienced excruciating pain but never complained. I knew he was hurting. Whenever I entered his room he always had a smile for me. I love being there with him, and he love having me there to make him laugh.
Being there to love and laugh with him are moments that I will always cherish.
I knew that I had to be courageous, strong, determined, beautiful, and most important of all, positive and the silly o me.
I’ve learned to accept the fact that there will be good days and bad days, be hopeful and optimistic. Knowing that it’s also okay to feel sadness and fear about the illness and its impact on life-changing.
I’ve learned by balancing those natural emotions with a positive outlook I/we can help create a more harmonious family life during this difficult time.
I take in the beauty of everyday through small gestures like the children’s smiles, laughers, room full of bright beautiful flowers, cards, or a walk in the park.
I’ve learned that cancer affects all of us, whether you’re a wife, husband, daughter, son, mother, father, sister, brother, friend, family, stranger, colleague, doctor, caregiver or patient, positive attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference and the human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.

What I say to others I’ve met during my 6 weeks hospital sleepover/visitations on the 5th floor:
More people live with cancer than die with cancer. You have a long road ahead of you but all you need to do is just get up each morning and keep on fighting. You will make amazing new friends and discover that you are stronger than you ever believed possible.
His father may have passed on his cancer genes to him. I believe he passed on an inner strength and determination to look cancer in the face and fight back.
He passed on a desire to love, to laugh, to live even in the midst of cancer.

Cancer is such a terrible thing to have to deal with. I lost my father at 23 and I'm still dealing with it 7 years later. I really can't imagine what those poor kids are going through right now. I would say to Jennifer please please please get them some grief counselling. They will certainly gain a lot from it. Even if they don't want to please make them go. I flat out refused to go but after a couple years with no progress in the morning process I was convinced to do it and I'm so happy I did. I had so much anger inside of me and I just couldn't cope with it by myself. I needed help and I can only imagine being half the age I was and having to manage those feelings on my own. My heart goes out to you and your babies Jennifer. I wish you love and peace.

WoW! Reading all these posts is definitely heart breaking. RIP Lukas….. Cancer is a bitch. Very sad to see a fellow Z family member leave us. Unfortunately, I'm new to the forum, so I didn't know him to well. But from all the comments, he seemed like a great guy. My heart goes out to his wife and kids, and all his family. I personally experience cancer with both my parents, and I can only imagine how they are feeling right now. May god bless him and his family.

Read this and to be honest I have no words to say except our dear Z brother rest in peace for etertinity.

I don’t post very much but I do read a lot of the threads on this forum and this had me close to tears (which is not a good look on a Friday afternoon in the office!).

I can relate on a personnel level as my daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2004 just after her 8th birthday. 2 years later and a bone marrow transplant she was on a drug trial, which kept her in remission. Unfortunately, just after my father was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which took his life after 18 months.

To make things worse in 2011 my daughter relapsed and we had to start treatments again. Fast forward to today and by the good graces she is still her after battling cancer for 10 years. Yes there is a lot of baggage, the family has been through hell and a lot of friends we made on this journey have not made it, but she’s still here.

Reading this post brought back a lot of memories and fears and although we have suffered during the last 10 year we never felt the pain of losing her, unlike yourself.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
