He then went on to say that a dedicated and incredible team of medical professionals is treating him in Rhode Island, in addition to receiving care at the Dana-Fabar Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Though he made it a point to mention that he knows of the enduring and challenging journey ahead of him, Caprio also stated that he is prepared to fight to the best of his abilities. While reiterating that one of the most frequent questions he receives regarding his diagnosis concerns people asking what they can do for him, Caprio thanked everyone for their outpouring of love and support.<\/p>\n<p>He also pleaded, \u201cI would ask each of you in your own way to please pray for me. I am in need of the power of prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caprio strongly believes that knowing his fans are keeping him in their thoughts and prayers, in addition to receiving expert medical care, will be the key to him surviving his illness. Toward the end of the video, he lays his head in his hands sorrowfully as he gets overcome with emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Now that he is dealing with his tragic diagnosis, Caprio\u2019s close-knit family remains steadfast by his side.In what appears to be an uncanny foreshadowing of what was to come, after Caprio posted the announcement, he shared another video on his Facebook account. The timing of the two videos is uncanny because he filmed the latest one right before learning about his cancer diagnosis. In this video, the 87-year-old talks about the importance of courage and the value of overcoming fear.Once Caprio\u2019s fans learned of the sad news, they wasted no time in showing their support for their favorite judge. Many took to the comment sections of both his posts to express their sorrow and healing prayers for Caprio\u2019s health. One fan expressed: \u201cYou are a very good person, Judge. Thank you for the unwavering inspiration you give to all of us, around the world.
