I need your help

[buzzer IA]

Hey there,
Will make this short and sweet..Found out this week that I will have to undergo brain surgery this spring to remove a tumor from my pituitary gland..The doctors don't think that it will be malignant, but they're not sure..The tumor has grown around or encased one of my arteries, which has me concerned..
Just asking that all of you keep me in your prayers..
Thanks Guys

A friend of mine had a siezure in the middle of the night, without warning. Turned out to be a cancer. Had several operations on his brain, chemo, the whole course of treatment. It was a dark time for his family. That was ten years ago. Yesterday He stopped by after work. You would never know that anything had ever happened to him. Cancer really has slammed my family and friends. So far we have prevailed, but there were some tough times. Good luck and hang in there.

Went through what you are about to go through five years ago. Yes, the anxiety level can get high. You will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers - just literally "keep the faith" and keep your thoughts positive. The mind is a powerful force - don't let the spirits get away - it DOES turn out well... Peace. ET

Gods speed dave, you'll be in my prayers.

[ufda]

You've got it my friend. And, I know prayers work. The Big Fisherman listens. I have many examples in my own life and in the lives of others for whom prayer was the key including a little baby born with a canerous tumor on his spine who is now perfectly healthy.

[D189]

Buzzer, you can count on prayers going up from Michigan. The Good Lord has a special place in His heart for fisherman. It wasn't just coincidence that when He came down to earth, the first couple of guys he found to hang out with were fisherman.

[Scott Richardson]

I had a short-term infection that nearly killed me last September. Infection was near to blood stream and then my kidneys quit. That is not a good thing. Looked bleak at one point. Watched the clock tick away the seconds of my life one night. But, prayers and great doctors saw me through. Ten days later, I was fine.

God is good.

Life is short. Live it.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Probably because us fishermen were most in need of some saving? :-)

But I'm pullin' for ya!

[angle-eyes]

I had neurosurgery 6 months ago. Three large bone spurs in my cervical disks severly pinching my spinal cord. 100% numbness in right arm for 3 years.

I was overwelmed with confronting neurosurgery, but finally acted. It was a long difficult recovery, but I now have 80% improvement.

Pick your neurosurgeon with great care. Then trust what they do and maintain your faith!

Your be back on the water before long...

God bless you.

[Connie Quirk]

Buzzer,
I have been there and am healthy and thankful 1 1/2 years later! I ended up with two operations as the pituitary tumor was so large. The second and FINEST was at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. They really know how to do a perfect surgery and give you fine endocrinology work to get you back on your feet right away. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. I'd be glad to share more. After my Mayo surgery, the very next day I was in the lounge area playing dominoes with my kids. I can't say enough for their expertise and abilities in this area!!!
Know you're in our prayers, too. Connie and Ken

[Roger Mayer]

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Roger Mayer.

[CKRanger]

Will definitely keep you in my prayers. I believe in a personal God and Jesus is the great healer. God bless you, Buzzer. I trust that you will have many more days to spend on the water.

[EAGLE EYES]

God will heal you my friend! I will ask him to help, and I know he will!

[SCUMFROG!]

Hey Buzz! As I post this I am hoping that you are doing alright. Although we have never met in person, I have enjoyed our conversations and think of you as a friend. At church, this Easter sunday, I will have the congregation say a prayer for you and your family in this trying time. Feel free to e-mail me if you need somebody to talk to. god bless, John Green.

[fkrk]

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a quick recovery. Just remember when your going through it that everyone here (on this message board) hope you the best. Post after words and tell us how it went.

[starcraft1972]

Buzzer, You were one of the first people that I talked to in the walleye chat room and I thought that it was a good conversation and till we have another I will pray for you every day. there was a guy that ask if you were going to Mayo in Rochester, Mn. If you are let me know as I live only 45 miles from there and I'll come see you, starcraft1972

[Jackpine]

One year after my third stroke I'm a little slow on my left side and I feel the Lord was with me or I wouldnt be here to say-- My prayers are with you too and may he grant you many more years of fishing--

Jackpine

[buzzer IA]

Hey starcraft1972,
I remember "chatting" to you back then, and remember thinking that all of you folks here seemed to be witty, fun, and caring..You have just proven me right..
No, I'm going to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic..My wife and I live only 45 minutes from there..I will meet my neurosurgeon this coming Monday and go from there..
Thank You for the reply..
God Bless You,
