| cancel Member LA 188 Posts 9/04 | Several posters on numerous internet adult industry newsgroups made mention that they would love to make contributions to help Lea DeMae raise money for her medical condition. I am taking action and making this happen. I spoke with the Oldrich Widman at Dream Entertainment (Lea's agency in Czech) who is coordinating fundraising efforts in Europe. PayPal cannot be accepted in many Eastern European countries, so my PayPal account is available for ANYONE who wishes to contribute. I will wire funds directly to Lea every week. There is no middle man or other scam trying to get a piece of the donations. I have had the scourge of cancer touch me personally. My mom died of lung cancer when she was only 34 years old. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help others with this terrible affliction. AVN details Lea's situation here. http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=200722 My connection with the adult film business is as male talent in New York as well as friendships with many people in Los Angeles. I have done pro bono work for The Lance Armstrong Foundation and Jenna Jameson's Adult Industry Assistance Fund. Simply go to PayPal and follow the instructions to make a donation. My account is Darrin@TrophyBrothers.com. Please be sure to make a note that you are making a contribution for Lea. I am sure we can count on our fans and my fellow members of the industry to come through and help Lea. If you have any questions or additional comments to pass on to Lea, email Darrin at DarrinLucas@comcast.net. Darrin Lucas... aka dood

| cancel Member LA 188 Posts 9/04 | I knew one of the senior contributors at ADT would step up to the plate quickly on this. Ramsey kicked in $100. For everyone who donates, I will post your name and donation amount unless you ask me not to. I feel recognition is important for those who help Lea. We can do a great deal to help her... and PayPal takes less than 5 minutes. lANCE cUMMING... Darrin |
| cancel Member LA 188 Posts 9/04 | HELP LEA!!! :) It's simple and fast. And you'll feel all warm and fuzzy after. It's better than voting for our two Presidential candidates too. I sent Lea a copy of Lance Armstrong's book, "It's Not About the Bike." This will inspire ANYONE... But especially someone with a battle with cancer such as Lea's. lANCE cUMMING |

| John Pype Member I adore sluts 779 Posts 9/03 | I'm not too sure why you report some donations in this thread and not others. As a general principle, I think you should publish all the names (unless people ask to remain anonymous). I am not in favour of recording the amount. This might encourage those who are hesitating. C'mon folks, dig deep, Lea needs us...NOW!! |

Chris, who lives in Germany, created a special Forum for Lea's family, fans and friends' messages to be stored. |
| cancel Member LA 188 Posts 9/04 | She has just finished a round of chemotherapy and radiation treatemnts. She goes for MRI on Thursday to see how effective the treatment was. As you might expect, she had a difficult weekend and is recovering from the chemo. There is a clinic in Berlin that specializes in Lea's specific form of brain cancer, so it appears that she is going to make every effort to enlist their doctors to help her. Of course, this is the reason we are all doing our best to collect donations for Lea. Please feel free to email me with well wishes and questions about Lea DeMae. lANCE cUMMING |
| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | Chris has moved from his home in Germany and taken an apartment (he is a part-time glamour photographer of solo female models, etc.) to be near Lea and family and he has also been in touch with Oldrich Widman (Lea's manager and perhaps famous in America as being Silvia Saint's former agent) and Silvia too. I have just received the very latest news from Chris in Prague. It's now 5.37am here in London and I have been writing most of the night trying to keep the efforts going. Please see below the e-mails just exchanged. This is now life and death, as you will see. I hope that all those who previously had good words to say about Daniella Rush (at the time Axel Braun & Steve Holmes were kindly supportive on the 'Gabriel Nine' topic in Star Crossed) and more will rally to help lovely Lea now laying so desperately unwell and suffering in Prague. If Lucie and Chris can get Lea taken out of the Czech hospital to perhaps Munich or wherever is thought best perhaps by hospital plane, as you may have heard Larry Flynt has offered to help pay the costs of whichever clinic Lea can be treated better at. As you will see below, this seems to be extremely urgent. I appeal to Axel Braun, Steve Holmes, Chris Alexander, Tom Byron, John "Buttman" Stagliano & Tricia Devereaux, Vince Voyeur, John Leslie, Rocco Siffredi, Nacho Vidal, Jean Yves Le Castel, Phillip Soine (The Gigolo, as we remember him in his red sports car), Jenna Jameson, Jill Kelly and other famous stars/producers to try to help in some way to let Lea know that she is not forgotten. I will not trouble you again but hope for your compassion, and graciousness to remember this young lady in her hour of need. Sincerely, Victor, London UK. PS. We have made two appeals to Berth Milton (founder of "Private" in Sweden 39 years ago) - but I am afraid to say that no response has been received as yet! Lea of course appeared in dozens of "Private" movies and magazines (eg. "Triple x 54" currently on sale all over the world with 24 pages inside plus the beautiful front cover all devoted to Lea De Mae, who they rapturously describe as "a Godsend" and "Heaven sent" etc., - you can see most of the text set out in the CSS postings). The latest news from Prague:- 8th November 2004: ----- Original Message ----- .................I've been in the hospital yesterday and Lucie told me that Hustler finally could get in touch with her. They received her telephone number from Monica S., whom they incidentally know. For similar cases in the future Lucie asked me to tell people on my page that they can get her mobile number from me as soon as they have proofed to be serious. She only doesn't want to publish her number on the web because of weird people. H. really offered help. At present Lucie thinks about letting Lea be treated in a good German hospital and using the donations for it. The situation in Prague is a disaster: on Thursday a new MRI was made. They handed it out to Lucie. She came to my place, I converted the files and sent them to the doctors in Germany. The next day they told me that one ventricle grows more and more, because brain water can not flow out anymore. The doctors should make a ventricle drainage or lead the water into her stomach. Otherwise this ventricle presses on important areas in the brain. You will not believe it: today is Monday evening and the Czech doctors STILL didn't tell Lea, Lucie or the rest of her family about the situation! Nor do they have any plans to do something against the congestion. Both doctors, the one who did the operation and another, who treats her, are on holidays. They have no substitute. The first of them comes back on Wednesday. In the meanwhile, Lea (Andrea) still suffers from pain. Her left eye rolls up from time to time without intention, her left leg and the little finger of her left hand shivers without intention, her left arm and face is slightly paralysed. She cannot walk alone anymore! Lucie asked the doctors about the situation and they tell her, they do all they can, that's all. No further explanation, nothing. Unfortunately I don't speak Czech and I'm not in the position to influence anything. I can only get informations from Germany, what the doctors here SHOULD do. But I cannot force the Czech doctors to become active. Tomorrow I will call the doctors in Germany and I'm writing questions on a very good German cancer forum what precisely I can do in this situation....... .............. Lea herself said that in the case that she doesn't need the money anymore for her own treatment, she would like to give it to some brain tumor foundation. That again reveals her modest and kind character to me! So far from Prague today, ----- Original Message ----- Dear Chris, I am terribly sorry. It's like a nightmare for Lea (Andrea) and you all, - like torture. Lea is taking all this punishment and is already contemplating she will not be here with us anymore to receive these treatments we are collecting for - this poor sweet soul, God bless her and worrying about other people that they should at least benefit in some way - she badly needs rescuing with superior medical know-how and tactics to loosen the grip of this illness and neutralise it if possible and save her life. It seems we have got to get Lea quickly to people who are more skilled and perhaps have a more modern setup. At least in your own country Germany, you will be able to communicate with them, as you do not speak Czech. Lea is now partly paralysed and I am afraid that the situation in Prague now seems to be beyond the local skills unfortunately or if there are people who could help in some manner, they are all away! You might let Angela Dickson at SDRT (Samantha Dickson Research Trust) know the name of the proposed Munich treatment centre just in case Dr Henry Marsh knows them (the doctor mentioned in the newspaper the other day). Can the German hospital arrange to collect Lea and take her now ? can she be stabilised and flown to Munich in a hospital plane, assuming it is safe for her to travel by plane (air pressures)? - otherwise she may die there in Prague! I read that the Czech doctors do not have facilities in the same hospital for even a bed for Lea and she has to travel between two places! Are Munich still saying they can help Lea? You say on Wednesday one of her Czech doctors is back from holidays - but even if he is on holidays, he should at least be contacted. This is a life and death matter! I suggest if Munich sounds the best bet for competent extra treatment, try to arrange to get Lea there by hospital plane (I do not know how far Munich is from Prague) or by helicopter however it may be done as soon as possible by safe journey method. Use the funds you can muster and H. will help I am sure as the e-mail indicates from M.H. and they will help by payment to the clinic and we will carry on of course with more fund-raising too, but all the money in the world is no good if Lea is not treated competently very soon, as I cannot see how her body can stand up to all this without competent actions to fight back and she will die there in Prague unless something is done very very soon. I have copied this letter to Angela at the UK Trust for info. I have removed text about other matters which I will write separately. I have also copied it to Mark.H., USA, Olda, Cz. Ss. Cz, Darrin, USA & Juh.L., Canada and Alexander in Russia and others who I believe care. I am so sorry for you Chris - I am very upset about Lea's situation but we should try to medically fight back. Let's try something to reverse this situation by getting Lea to Munich which is in your territory which is one good thing and as it seems, everyone is more on the ball there. Please let Mark at H. have all the details of which clinic, etc you think is suitable. PS. In Friday's "Evening Standard" (29/10/04) Dr Richard Hodosh, Surgeon was shown carrying out a live on air brain tumour removal via satellite from a hospital in New Jersey. PPS. About more fund-raising, I will write later. I think now the priority is to stabilise Lea and get her to Munich or wherever is thought the best chance.

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | We write from Soho, London. The distressing new report at "pics-and-models.com" fills us with consternation. Miss Lea De Mae is described as being "desperate", her friends and family are understandably besides themselves...... ------------------------------------------------- This is the very latest news from Chris Danneffel in Prague at Lea's side as referred to above (this and more is published at www.pics-and-models.com). I urge you all again, please send cards and/or flowers to Lea and if possible a donation no matter what size it is in order to keep Lea's spirits high so that she does not lose all hope. Let's try to carry her through this by a force of goodwill and people power from afar. I do not know how many members there are plus their friends on this large Site but we should be able to make a big difference. Let this caring Site be one that made that extra difference when we are called to account. We have support from Larry Flynt's "Hustler" coming soon and I believe other USA Studios too (more to come later on this). Meantime, let's send a flood of good wishes and all we can muster to Lea (Andrea) in Prague to show Lea and her family that we all stand with them at this time of crisis and Lucie can take these to the hospital to show Lea, which may boost her spirits a little through her (and our) agony and help her to endure the unendurable. Lea's younger sister Lucie's address is: POSTSCRIPT: Unfortunately, Lea cannot receive flowers at the hospital (in case of infection) but of course, please send Xmas and Birthday Cards. Lea's 28th Birthday is on the 26th December. Updated: Friday, 12 November 2004 Last Friday the German doctors and specialists of different clinics and universities told me what they see on the MRI pictures: a ventricle in the right hemisphere grows wider and wider, because the liquid (brain water) cannot flow out as it should. The ventricle now presses on important structures of the brain. Therefore a ventricle drainage should be created or the brainwater should be led into her stomach via a little hose. While this information was delivered from German specialists already on Friday, we have still no information about Lea's current health situation from the doctors in Prague, nor do we have any informations about what the doctors are planning to do. By the way: it's Monday evening now! When I saw Lea De Mae in the hospital yesterday, she still suffered from pain. I asked her: "What did the doctors tell you about the MRI?" - "Nothing. The doctors don't talk to me." I noticed that Lea's left eye rolled up from time to time without intention, her left leg and the little finger of her left hand shivered without intention, her left arm and face were slightly paralysed. She couldn't walk to the toilet without help anymore. "I'm afraid", Lea said, "I'm afraid." I'm not a specialist, but my impression is, that we see the results of the growing ventricle! I'm wondering whether it's normal to do nothing in similar cases or what happens. When Lucie asked the doctors about Lea's situation, they only told her, that they already do what they can do. Without further explanations. Unfortunately I don't speak Czech and I'm not in the position to influence anything. I can only get informations from Germany, about what the doctors here COULD do. But I cannot force the Czech doctors to become active. As far as Lucie told me, there are two doctors, who are responsible for Lea's treatment. One of them is the specialist who obviously did the amazingly good surgery. The other was treating her with radio and chemo therapy afterwards. But both of them are on holidays now. They have no substitution, and they are not reachable. Neither per eMail, nor per telephone. One of them comes back on Wednesday. In the meantime nothing happens in regard of helping Lea! But a light of hope appeared at the horizon as well. Due to never ending activities of some true Lea De Mae fans, Larry Flint's company HUSTLER finally got in touch with Lucie. They got her number from Monica Sweetheart*. It seems that they really want to help. Lucie thinks that it would be the best to let Lea be treated in some very good hospital in Germany. The money of the donors would be needed for this. To receive money from other people who want to help her almost seems embarrassing to Lea De Mae. She mentioned, that if she doesn't need the money for her own treatment anymore, she wants to give the rest to a foundation which cares for people with the same illness. This again reveals Lea De Mae's modest and kind character to me! *Just to be prepared for similar cases in the future, Lucie asked me to declare, that each person who wants to personally get in touch with her on the phone, can get her number from me, as soon as he can prove that he's serious. Therefore please make sure that you send me your full name, address and telephone number. Chris - Prague, Czech Republic 8th November 2004
According to doctors in Germany whom I'm in contact with, this is completely unacceptable. Either he has to come back from holidays or he has to designate a substitution! Lea's health situation is getting worse and worse and can be limiting if she will not be treated soon. Therefore at present we're communicating with German clinics in regard to bringing Lea abroad very quickly. Chris - Prague, Czech Republic 9th November 2004 "Still in Czech hospital - severe pains" I'm writing these lines impressed by the experience of seeing a former lovely young sportive and brave lady going through toils and tortures. While a couple of days ago her comment was "I'm like a child" with a slight smile in her face, when I spoon-fed her, she seemed like a baby today. Her mother was with her yesterday and today from early morning to late evening. When Lea squirms in her bed with endless headaches, it's driving me into helpless rage and sadness. Why is she not in Germany in the meantime? I don't know. I had the phone in my hand and I was talking to German clinics on Wednesday afternoon. There are 4 clinics which I was told are belonging to the best in regard to treating brain cancer and not too far away from Prague: Dresden, Tübingen, Munich and Regensburg. They e.g. carry out cyst punctuations without any problems. Staying there for one day would cost about 400 to 500 Euros. As Lea is not a German citizen she would have to pay for 20 days in advance. Additionally it would bee necessary to transport Lea by medical helicopter because she's too weak for other alternatives. But at the same time when I was doing these calls, Lucie sent me an SMS and told me that Lea finally would be transferred to another hospital in Prague where they decide what they're gonna do. I was satisfied with this information, since it would be the best solution: Lea would not have to suffer from a long distance transportation. Also, I was told that they have a "gamma knife" there, which is a revolutionary instrument. Czech citizens paid for it. At last, after waiting for so many endless days and sleepless nights, there will be some relief for Lea De Mae! However, when I was in the hospital yesterday, Lea still was there. Her mother told me that her transfer will take place only tomorrow. So I went there today and Lea STILL was there. This time her mother has been told that Lea will not be transferred herself, but at first only her medical papers (MRI). Transfer of Lea is planned for Friday, which is tomorrow. I don't want to impeach anyone, I'm just telling everybody what I see and I'm trying to be as close to reality as possible. I am not a doctor and I can't decide whether this is international medical treatment standard (which I guess Lea has a right for!) or not: Lea's mother asked the doctors why they haven't done anything for so long while Lea showed neurological symptoms and was suffering from severe pains. Their answer was: within 10 days after radiation and chemotherapy nothing could be done in any case. If this is true, I don't know why the MRI was made already one week ago? It doesn't seem logical to me why the doctors put their decision about what they're gonna do on the basis of MRI results which are 7 days old? This is what I try to ask the doctors tomorrow. Which scares me a little bit is that still everybody seems to wait for this well-known specialist with highest reputation, who did Lea's first operation, but who is on holidays right now. This will be my second question: where is he, when does he come back or is he willing to interrupt his holidays - for the sake of Lea De Mae's life?! By the way: yesterday evening Olda Widman (Dream Entertainment) and I were talking with each other until deep into he night. He also seems to be very affected by Lea's illness and he promised further help especially when it comes to questions like how could Lea be transferred into a German hospital or how more donors could be motivated to help Lea on the financial part. He also knows many important people in Czech Republic which could be of some help on informal levels. Chris - Prague, Czech Republic 11th November 2004
Here are the latest news, in short, because my notebook battery is running out of power. Lea's mother and I are at the hospital where Lea De Mae is going to be transferred today. However, because the MRI equipment in this "target hospital" is broken, she had to be transported to a third hospital where a new MRI can be made. Lucie accompanied her. Now Lea De Mae is here. She doesn't want to see anybody and is in a very bad condition. I had a longer talk with one of the responsible doctors. I wanted to know, why for about one full week the doctors didn't react. He explained, that a circle of about 6 specialists are coming together twice a month to discuss the most complicated medical cases. Lea's case is one of them. But when Lea went to hospital because of her severe headaches almost two weeks ago, the last meeting had just taken place. Therefore she had to wait until yesterday, when these doctors came together again. They decided to make another MRI (which was done a couple of minutes ago) and then quickly make a ventricle drainage. In Germany, this would happen today or tomorrow. But we're in Czech Republic. The friendly doctor couldn't expain why, but said it's simply like that: they CANNOT use the stereotactic equipment which they need for the important ventricle drainage on weekends. It's only available from Monday to Friday!!!! Lucie is crying and completely desperate and so is her mother. Furthermore, the doctors have to perform the operation on Monday without this highly respected specialist, who comes back from holidays only on thursday. The only positive information I could get was, that finally Lea De Mae can be treated more effectively against her pains. This weekend Lea De Mae needs a guardian angel and a lot of positive thoughts from all her friends and friends around the globe! Chris - Prague, Czech Republic 12th November 2004 Since Lucie is very much involved in taking care of her sister, feel free to instead contact me in case of pressing matters. I'll forward all messages to her as soon as possible. Also, if you can prove to be serious, I will send you Lucie's Czech mobile number, so that you can get in touch with her directly. Chris Danneffel Addendum from Victor: ~ May God bless you and keep you ~

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | Dear Victor, "Health condition slighly better - dangerous shunt insertion yesterday " Dear friends and fans of Lea De Mae, I didn't feel like writing an update yesterday at all. In the late morning I've got a phone call from Lucie, Lea would gonna have her operation already today (yesterday). This was surprising because I was told that the stereotactic equipment is not available over weekends. I quickly went into the hospital. This one lays only a few minutes away from where I live. Her parents were there, Lucie and later a couple of her closest friends arrived quickly. We didn't know exactly what happened, but we knew it would be extremely dangerous. (One of the doctors revealed to me later, that he didn't want to do it, because the risk was 50/50). While Lea De Mae was transported into the operating room, we were allowed to accompany her only for a little while. But our minds stayed with her all the time until she was brought back. After two hours which seemed to us to be much longer, our main questions were: would she awake from narcosis? Yes, she did! Would she be able to speak? Yes, she was! Would she be able to move? Yes, she was! We shed tears of enjoyment because of three times "YES"! But our water of joy dried very soon, when we were told from the doctors, that this WAS NOT the surgery they still plan for Monday. They "only" inserted a shunt in order to let the dammed up spinal water flow out, thus releasing pressure and headaches. They still need to make a ventricle drainage and at the same time try to find out the reason for the accumulation of the spinal water. Problem number 1 is still the large eudema. Therefore Lea gets the highest doses (I think Fortecortin) which is possible. If its effect is too low, the doctors have to wait again 2 more days for installing the drainage. Yesterday, Lea De Mae was very weak and STILL suffered from most severe pains - close to what a human being can stand. Almost none of us will have ever experienced such tortures! Today (Sunday) she's in a slightly better condition. "Don't be afraid, we all take care of you", I told her. "I know", she answered, "thanks. I must sleep." Sleep is what she wasn't able to do for a couple of days/nights now, because of her aches. Again, there appears a little light at the horizon: this distinguished doctor, whom some people consider "the best in Europe" in his field, cuts off 4 days of his holidays in Sydney and will lead the operation tomorrow morning!

I have replied in detail on your Forum:- http://www.terrisummers.com/f/forum/ and I have also copied same to Lea's friends, co-stars and movie producers and publishers helping her (HUSTLER, Dennis Black Magic, Silvia Saint, Katja Kassin, etc) Kind regards from London. |
| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | "Lea De Mae survived two dangerous operations last weekend " Lea De Mae's guardian angel had a busy weekend. But Lea herself also did a good job and proved to be a hard fighter. With brain damages like her's most people would be in a much worse condition than Lea is today. Yesterday, only a short time after her surgery, Lea started to make jokes about the fact that she hallucinates from time to time. Lea: "I see fishes, dogs and all kind of animals hanging around there!" Monica Sweetheart, who was in Spain for "The Private Life of ...", is now back in Czech Republic and I saw her for the first time after two weeks. She was shocked when she learned from Lucie that Lea was undergoing surgeries in hospital again. Suddenly I remembered that I incidentally got acquainted with Lea De Mae in June 2003 right after her interview for "The Private Life Of Lea De Mae". Let me mention therefore that several people (fans, managers, actresses and also producers) start thinking bad about PRIVATE, as they haven't shown any reaction in regard to Lea's illness so far. But we're not through the valley yet. This surgery today was NOT the ventricle drainage the doctors had in mind. According to the doctors this would have been much too dangerous (also because of a large oedema, which couldn't be influenced by medicaments). They've just inserted a catheter with a special reservoir hidden under her skin, which ingests jammed-up spinal water and which can be deflated by simple punctuation. This (relatively simple) surgery by the way was not carried out by the famous doctor (see above). The most relieving information of today to me (and I guess to all of us) is that finally Lea De Mae doesn't suffer from her headaches anymore. "Only my back still hurts" , she told me, "but it's ok" . Maybe at this point I should explain: about eight years ago Lea De Mae was a member (high diver) of the Olympic Team of Czech Republic. During her training for Atlanta, USA, she had a tragic accident. While performing a risky jump from a 10 meter board, she infelicitously crashed on the water surface and nearly broke her back. She had to spend three months in a special clinic in Baden-Baden, Germany. She recovered, but since that time every now and then she has extreme pains in her back, e.g. also while performing artistic sex positions in her movies. But she's proud. She would never show it! What's next? We don't know. Another MRI will be made within this week. Lea should feel better soon and then be able to go home. But if she needs to go back into hospital (a catheter cannot be an all time solution), it will be Bulovka again. You're right, the "old and ugly" one. The head physician in Lea's current hospital apologized to me: "You have to understand. Our capacities are limited, and there are many other patients on our waiting list."

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | It was such a relief to find out that firstly Lea was still alive - and secondly, at last some positive actions are being taken by the Czech medical team and of course that Dr Benes came back from Australia urgently to attend to Lea, although it seems that the other surgical procedures have intervened. I note that Chris said a new MRI would be taken soon. Perhaps Dr Benes will be able to inform Lea's family and friends of the current situation and through Lucie/Oldrich inform "Hustler" too who have promised to help pay for specific medical help such as airlifting Lea to Munich and extra treatment there, etc. I do not know what the Czech medical system can or cannot do (Chris mentioned the special "Gamma Knife") but delay is not usually good with the illness we are fighting, everyone will know this, many no doubt from personal family experience. For the moment, we can take some comfort from Chris's most recent update - as in the last few days, the reading has been very harrowing for us all and we are so far away and not having to endure at first hand Lea's severe sufferings. I was very glad to read that Lea had been amused to report that she had been getting visits from all the fishes, dogs & animals who'd come to hospital to see her too! At last, one round to Lea in this fight! I am sure we will hear from Chris again, as soon as more is known. Best wishes, Edited by - Victor UK on 11/17/2004 10:18:02 PM |

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | We have had a very welcome posting at the CSS Forum from Mikey, who has just donated 2,500 US Dollars and made all sorts of enquiries plus arranged for help from Nikky Blond to donate a special scene as an "auction" item for Lea's fund. Perhaps some of you know Mikey's work. This is what he wrote,... I want to help I've just sent 2500 usd, should show up by Monday ...I've also contacted the webmaster of the domain name 'leademae.com' and asked if it can be used as 'fundraising central' - I am awaiting an answer ... I can raise some money on some internet boards - lots of people know me, I film mikesapartment.com, mikeinbrazil.com, eurosexparties.com (this is where I worked with Andrea and Oldrich) I want to do whatever I can to help - I have made a small webpage and sent out some emails because the more organized Iam, the more money I can make for her. the page I made is here: http://www.219inc.com/LeaDeMae/index.htm Nikky Blond, a good friend of mine, has pledged to make a free scene for me so that I can auction it, and the proceeds will go to the medical fund. If anyone else can make a scene or shoot, I can auction it and get more money for Lea ... I am open to any ideas to help, and I only wish I could send more ... lets get organized and get this young girl the help she needs. this business has enough money in it to acheive this goal. My best regards to Andrea and Family. Ahoy Mikey
Dear Mikey, Thank you very much for your great help. Lea's friends and family will be deeply grateful. By coincidence, Oldrich Widman is flying to London tomorrow and he asked to meet me and so I have invited him to supper in Soho tomorrow night and I will show him your posting and also e-mail it to him right now. I have noticed a couple of free fan Sites for Lea De Mae on Yahoo Groups but one does not seem to be very active and the other is not really used for Lea (more for general movie/mag stuff). I will check out the Site you wrote to asking if they would accommodate support efforts for Lea. Chris Danneffel was on the point of creating the first ever Official Site for Lea when unfortunately, she became ill. I would like Chris to continue with that in any case (and if possible, keep it as a free Site). Chris Danneffel's E-mail:- chris@danneffel.de and his photgrapher's Site is at www.pics-and-models.com where he has created a special place for Lea. Chris has been a great friend to Lea and temporarily moved to Prague from Germany to be with Lea all through these days of crisis and agony, as you will see from postings on Chris's Site, most of which I have reproduced on here as well. Please forgive me, if I am telling you things you already know. Thank you again for your wonderful efforts. Best wishes, ADDENDUM Sunday 21st November, 2004. Payment confirmation just received from Mikey in Florida:
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MIKEY. - A friend indeed PS. I was surprised to see how young Oldrich is (only 35)!

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | "Still weak - doesn't want to go into another hospital again" Very soon, I have to leave Prague for reasons of my job in Germany. As her current hospital lays close to my current apartment, I see Lea each day. In relation to the brain damage (tumour, 3 surgeries, radio and chemotherapy, negative side effects), Lea's in a better condition than most of us would be. However, Lea is not able to be involved in communication. She utters one or two sentences, but always is too tired to keep her attention alive for more than a couple of minutes (fatigue syndrome). From time to time Lea tries to stand up and (with some support) then she walks around a little bit. She needs all of her energy (and she has a lot!) to fight against the weakness in her legs and the pains in her back, which still are there. Her headaches are reduced, but still are there too. Lea's current hospital is nice and is highest international standard. During the day and night, qualified and friendly nurses and doctors are around and take care of the patients. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, the capacities of this hospital are limited. Therefore, she has to leave the hospital. After the very bad experiences in other locations, yesterday evening Lea told me: "They want to send me into another hospital." - "Yes, they told me about it. It's because the capacities are so limited." - "I know. But I don't want to go in another hospital, I wanna stay here!" I promised her not to leave Prague before I know who exactly will be responsible for Lea's following treatment, what exactly they plan to do and to keep an eye on it as well as I can. And I want to come back as soon as possible. Probably I will have no opportunity to update this page over the weekend. But I'll keep you informed. Chris - Prague, Czech Republic 19th November 2004 |

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | Dear Lance, Oldrich Widman said when I saw him on Friday night that he wanted to get some more details of cheques and donations posted up on Chris Danneffel's Site. However, I think Chris has to return to Germany for 2 or 3 weeks and then he's going back to support Lea and family before Xmas. Oldrich will be seeing Lucie in a day or two. Lucie is picking up all the mail from Lea & Lucie's mother's house, which is the address published for the family. May I ask you Lance if you could supply me with the individual names (including any anonymous donors for whom we can just give a name say, Well-wisher 1, 2, etc) for each set of payments you have sent to Prague. I also asked Oldrich to put up any second or third donations when the same people send more (i.e. Juhani in Canada made two donations, so I would like his name to be put up again). In the case of the donations you kindly assembled for Prague, it merely lists your name alone once at present, so I would like everyone's names to appear and then likewise for the next group for any second and third remittances that you may have made to Prague. I understand some movie companies have also sent cheques in so we need to get those listed up whilst Chris is away in Germany. If you can send me whatever information you can for each group remittance that you kindly dealt with from America, this would help update the list a bit, as a start. If you prefer, you can send the details directly to Oldrich at: dream@iol.cz or send them to both of us, so I can at least mention them on the CSS Forum to be getting on with, as there is a special topic there for donations from various sites, etc. Best wishes and thanks again. In thoughts of Lea. Victor, London. Edited by - Victor UK on 11/21/2004 1:19:25 PM |

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | Thanks again to you and ADT members kindly supporting the Medical Treatment Fund for Lea De Mae set up in Lea's real name "Andrea Absolonova" by her longtime friend and manager, Oldrich Widman of Dream Entertainment Inc., Prague. Perhaps you would let Oldrich have the details of the individual donors of the latest remittance, as I wrote before so they can be given due credit separately in the List of Donors. I saw Oldrich again last night (Sunday 21st) in Soho and this time he brought his personal assistant along. They had been at the "Erotica" Show at Olympia seeing various merchants. Oldrich gave me a present of a DVD from English Fetish Director Tanya Hyde and said that Monica Sweetheart sent her greetings. Monica S. was asking Oldrich about one of the Studios' donations she said should have been sent by now, but she wasn't sure as it had not appeared on the List. Oldrich said he was going to meet up with Lucie asap to get all the latest info from the Bank (as the Statements arrive for Andrea I presume) and about various cheques for the fund arriving at Andrea & Lucie's mother's house (the address published for one of the payment methods). All the info you can provide about your USA payments will help Oldrich too. If you care to send it to me as well, I can post it up at Silvia's Site after liaising with Chris and Oldrich. I believe that Chris is now en route to Germany and this would remove a little of the burden of work from his shoulders, as he has quite enough to do trying to get Lea's medical situation running smoothly and making further enquiries about treatments, etc. Thanks again to all. PS. A correction to one of my previous postings. Daniella Rush has passed her main Doctors' examinations at the University but she still has two smaller ones to complete, so she is not yet actually practising as a doctor (as I had thought), although she does attend at the hospital for training, etc. |

| Victor UK Member United Kingdom 66 Posts 11/04 | Reply to Dennis from Victor in London 27th November 2004, To, DENNIS BLACK MAGIC MEDIA of Belgium and now Prague. Dear Dennis, It's a pleasure and an honour for us to see your name on the Forum Dennis! For members who may not know, Dennis is the multiple Awards Winner of "Dennis Black Magic" - Rita Faltoyano and Katsumi's famous Producer/Director from Belgium, where he is known as "The King of Porn" (movies of Rita's such as "54 The Legend/NachtClub D'Amour" "The Show Must Go On") and many other feature films. Dennis, may I ask perhaps you can give some details of your past and present work with Erotic Shows and Movies, etc. in Belgium also the information on your new Web Site being created in Prague. May I take this further opportunity of publicly thanking Dennis for his goodwill and kindness in giving me the vital introduction to "HUSTLER" - as a result of which Larry Flynt's organisation immediately said they would of course help Lea De Mae - unlike "Private" who as far as I know have declined to render any assiustance to Lea whatsoever despite several personal appeals to their 1965 founder Berth Milton (but if I am wrong about this, I would welcome hearing something to the contrary?). I do not know how poor Lea is this moment, but when I last heard from Chris and Oldrich, she was still in pain and distress, which is heartbreaking for us and it has certainly been tearing me apart. Perhaps through too many long hours at the computer and night visits to gain support in town in bad weather, I have been a little unwell myself in the last few days. I only wish the doctors would start some positive plan to upset and unsettle the operation of this illness in some way. I was told that one of Lea's visitors was another lady who had survived this illness. I am still not sure whether Munich or elsewhere can do more that the doctors in the Czech Republic. Apparently, Lea's neurosurgeon is very highly respected - there is some info about him on the CSS Forum just posted up recently (Prof Vladimir Benes). As the "Samantha Dickson Research Trust" (the UK Trust funding research into brain cancer in this country) wrote to me the other day (after recovering from a few days computer blackout!),... I never did receive an e-mail from Chris Danneffel, only from you, so don't know what happened. However, I really can do no more than I have done on the Clomipramine front. It is very difficult trying to deal with the doctors in this country let alone another country. Unfortunately it will take another two or three years before these trials are well known in the field, and many doctors and specialists will not show an interest until the scientific papers are written at the end of the trial. All we can do is send the information I sent you, tell them that it is helping patients although is not a cure, and the rest is up to them. Edited by - Victor UK on 11/26/2004 9:48:36 PM |

I asked nikky to contact some of her friends so that i could cut a full dvd and have it distributed with all proceeds to lea's fund, but noone else in buda seems to be jumping on to help. maybe with your influence you could get some more people on board - if you think this is a good idea. if not, i can auction just the one scene of course for internet rights. Please contact me for anything i can do to help you at help at leademae d0t c0m |
