Daniel Pieszko was a good friend of mine who i went to high school with. he was diagnosed with cancer in his left shoulder after running into a wall playing representative squash in "A" grade for Marist College Pagewood in early 2008. in September, his left arm and shoulder were amputated to get rid of the cancer in his shoulder, which was successful, turning up at my 18th no more than 2 weeks later after having this surgery. He topped the hospitality course at high school, and wanted to be a professional chef.
The last time i saw him was at one of Daniels best friends' 18th birthday BBQ's, to which he was looking in great condition for missing an arm and on chemo therapy, smashing the bowlers all around the park when we played a game of cricket.
Daniel went to Poland to see his family for a holiday in late January.
He passed away on the night of Friday February 19 in Poland with his family and relatives
All this is only just hitting me and sinking in now, and i can't handle it. I'm sorry if this breaks forum rules, but there is no one to talk to at 1.30am and in tears.
I'm not asking for help, or sympathy, i just needed to vent because I'm not ready to take this yet, although, if you could spare a thought or a prayer for Daniel and his family and close friends, I'm sure they will be appreciated by family and friends.
