Procedure went well, they were able to get the fluid they needed. They won't have the complete results til Monday so they sent me home. Neurosurgeon just called me to make sure I was feeling okay.

Keefer · June 09, 2017, 05:19:00 AM

Get some rest now Fred and We will keep you in prayers for a "Good" report that all is ok.<')))><

Doc Nock · June 09, 2017, 08:40:00 AM

Like Keith says...It is in the Lord's hands as are you... His perfect will be done and our prayers are for a great report!

Rest in his GRACE, Fred!

Lord please place your healing hands on Fred and give him your healing breath and get him back in shape. Hang in there brother.

Keefer · June 13, 2017, 05:18:00 AM

I got another text from Fred yesterday while I was busy building a set for our V.B.S. at Church and he is having prostate surgery this Thursday .
I text him that I'll get him on our Church prayer chain as well and please if you all have a prayer chain can you put our good friend Fred Cioffi on yours? The more of us lifting him I'm sure God will hear us.
Fred "We" have your back as we gather and pray and as it is written "Where two or more are gathered in His name so He will be with us as well".
In Jesus name "We" pray!

Like Keefer says I am scheduled for prostate surgery this thursday provided the nuclear test this afternoon shows negative for any cancer in my bones. We are still getting more consults regarding the head issue which still has to be addressed, although we have 2 docs saying to redo MRI in 4-6 weeks and one saying while not an emergency it needs to come out even though they are not really sure what it is. Please if you can find the time say a prayer for me that this afternoons test is negative.

Amen and praising God for the fact that it is His will you prosper and be in health as your soul prosper in the truth of His Word.

Praise the Lord !! My scan today was clear, no cancer in my bones. Prostate surgery will go on as scheduled Thursday. There is still the issue of the growth in my head but no one can be sure what it is and only one of the 3 docs says no question he feels it should come out, but it's not without risk of loss of strength or use on my left side. The other 2 want to wait 4-6 weeks and redo the MRI. We are also going to get a couple more opinions

Praise the Lord for good results on the scan you had yesterday Fred and I know it's a hard call to make on the head issue .
I thought about it last night and know this is a serious matter when something is on the brain .
As you said in your text to me "Do you wait for the other Dr's and see what they say" or just go with what the other Dr's have found and get it taken care of now?
I know we have some great Dr's and whatever you decide I pray God puts a peace in your heart and gives you the answer on which direction to pursue.
You are my friend Fred and one of the folks I truly like and met through just a pm here.
You treated me with kindness and even though we have never met in person we have been like close friends and I want you to know I cherish our friendship and my prayers are with you and I continue to pray for you "Brother"!

Doc Nock · June 14, 2017, 08:48:00 AM

I'm with you most of the way Keef...but I'd say that it's too apparent that docs are just people, so getting confirming recommendations seem to be a good thing...even the bible suggests we get more then one opinion ...and there IS a reason docs call what they do a "practice"...

Otherwise, an echo of all the warm wishes for a great outcome and peace that passes all understanding!

Lowrider · June 15, 2017, 03:37:00 PM

Hang in there Fred. I am pulling for you. I to am having Prostate surgery on Wednesday June 21st. Found cancer but my CT Scan and Bone scan both came thru normal. 12 weeks of radiation after the surgery. Will be praying for you. Philip

Keefer · June 15, 2017, 03:56:00 PM

Got a text this morning from Fred right before he went in and a few hours later another around 12:53 that he is spending the night in the hospital and according to docs his prostate was "Huge" but all went well.
Praise be to God and praying you recover well Fred.

1/4 away · June 15, 2017, 06:14:00 PM

Doc was in about an hour ago. He said the surgery went well. He is planning on cutting me loose sometime tomorrow and leaving the post op foley in til Monday. He did say the pressure in my bladder was low and it may take a while til I can void on my own but it will happen.

Philip hang tough and I will keep you in my prayers as well. I have a consult with another doc on June 22nd for the brain lesion.

Doc Nock · June 16, 2017, 08:49:00 AM

As the old saying went up home, "When it rains it pours!"

Good to hear some good news on your behalf...let's pray that continues!

Keep the Son in your eyes!

1/4 away · June 19, 2017, 02:20:00 PM

Thank you all for all your prayers and support!

Prostate surgery was last Thursday and the foley came out this morning. I am able to void on my own and the doc has me on light duty until I see him the end of July. Now I can focus on my other health issue, the lesion in my head.i have an appointment this Thursday with a doctor down at memorial sloane Kettering hospital in NYC who specializes in this particular area of the brain.

Doc Nock · June 19, 2017, 02:57:00 PM

Congratulations on the surgery outcome...now to get you thru the next level of hoops!

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Keefer · June 19, 2017, 04:28:00 PM

Fred that is great news and I know you must feel 100% better being able to "Go" on your own ?
Sorry I didn't text you right back today I had black oil base paint on my hands at work and didn't want to smear it on my phone lol.
I'll be up to Church every night this week "Smoking" up the Church with the smoke pipe I showed you the other night.I had a little kid come in and looking at the set on the stage and he had no clue I was standing in the Baptism pool looking through the fan trying to make it turn very slow.
I hit the Fogger and blew a big Puff of smoke through that stove pipe and I said with a deep voice 'HEY LITTLE BOY COME TO THE OZ" like on the Wizard of Oz and He said something and I said "SILENCE" Well he turned 180 hit the after burners on and screamed like a girl and brought his MaMa back.
She said Mr. Oz you need not scare my little boy and I said 'HUSH YOUR MOUTH WOMEN WHEN TALKING TO THE OZ" It was a Kodak moment and I laughed so hard.

Man I love to torment kids.
