2 down
Just finished round 2 of chemo. It went really well with no complications. I feel great right now probably because of the steriods I was pumped with. I asked if I could work out in the gym now and gain some extra muscle, but the doctor said it is not the same kind of steriod that builds muscle. I was a little dissapointed about that. However, the doctor said as long as I feel up to it he encourages me to work out as much as I can. Can't wait for that.

My father was was diagnosed with cancer, too, during American Idol. That show's seen me through some pretty heavy things. :)
I hope you get well. Fans support you, you know. May the chemo heal you completely and may you be strong enough to withstand the last ten cycles of it. And may God bless you, oh yes. :)

Hi Luke,
Pray for your fast recovery. Have u tried other medications? Have you ever heard about naturopahty? I have friends who had cancer, I gave them DMG, Royal Jelly, Life Enzyme and Ester C (www.mycni.com.my). This supplement truly have help to improve the immunes system and other chronic diseas such as diabetic, cancer, hypertension, heart dieases and many.
Good luck, sweetie. You're being so brave about the whole thing. I suspect I'd be crying and feeling sorry for myself. Best wishes for your wife and family during this tough time.

Hi Luke,
You are one of my favorite Season 7 contestants and to hear of your diagnosis saddened me but I know you'll be fine and back to singing soon. I know many cancer survivors and it just makes all of us appreciate life and all that we have a bit more. Best regards from Sacramento California to you and your family.

Just wanted to send you support & encouragement. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent with us on AI. Your positive outlook is refreshing & you are an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I know it will be an inspiration for many people. Hang in there and it sounds like you have a great positive attitude!
Hi Luke (and Mrs. Luke!)
Wishing you all the best. There is an old Native American teaching that I have loved during rough times - it is this: within every trial is a gift. When you keep your eyes on the gift, the trial is easier to bear. I hope and trust that you will find many gifts, because God in good. Take good care, 'smanda
Hey Luke!
I'm Norman here from Malaysia. I was disheartened to hear that you were diagnosed with cancer. But it's alright, I'm praying for ya.
I believe that you're a strong person and Lord will always be there for you. Remember how you sang Happy Song? Keep that kind of feeling dude!
Hi Luke! Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm sure it helps a lot of people who are going through the same thing. Hopefully it's cathartic for you as well.
I hope you get well soon and come out of this trial even stronger than before.
Love from France,
Keline

Hey Luke, I just wanted to show some support and let you know how much I admire your strength and courage as you fight this cancer. I'm glad to hear you're doing well and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Hi Luke: Faith and prayers worked for my Mother. It will also work for you. Be strong and thank you for sharing your journey with us. You will be included in my prayers. My family is sending you and your family our well wishes

Luke,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Cancer in younger people can be misunderstood.
I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Get well and rest up!

thank you for creating this blog to post updates on your condition. i have been a fan of yours when you were on idol and i felt sad to hear the news of you being sick.
wish you all the best...you will be in my prayers. my best friend is a cancer survivor, i know you will be able to overcome this like she did.
God bless.
Hi Luke: Funny you mentioned getting chemo as one of your interests. Optimism coupled with faith in God, prayers plus medical care are your weapons to win this battle. My mother was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Plan was for her to receive 8 rounds of chemo. That has changed because of her remarkable response. She will only get 6 and next week will be her last. Be strong and encouraged. May God bless you to be able to tolerate the treatment planned for your complete healing. Our prayers to you and your family. RC of NJ ^~^
Luke,
You and your family are in my prayers durning this difficult time. I hope that you will get well soon. May God bless you and your family.
Jessica
With God on your side, you will get through this illness easy-peezy.
Can't wait to hear your music on Christian radio!
Luke: Cook and Luke fan here. I am praying for you. Be strong!
