Cancer doesn't discriminate. "Lucas received 6 rounds of Chemotherapy at Buffalo Children's Hospital in an attempt to save his eye."

As a baby, I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Retinoblastoma.

I know they often worried about how having monocular vision impairment would affect me while growing up...

I had a really hard time with bullying and it got to the point where I believed what people were saying about me.

I lost my eye at the age of 8 after they tried desperately to save it.

At 11 months old, something injured my right eye, but no one was around to see what it was.

My secondary implant surgery was on April 2021, I still face some difficulties but it is improving day by day.

My mum had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right

I broke my nose, shattered my orbital bone, broke all the bones on the left side of my face, and split my eye in half.

The hardest part has been looking in the mirror and seeing I don’t look like myself. Accepting the new me.
