Not even sure how I stumbled upon this video, but really felt like I should comment :) I did my entire healthcare career, almost 20 years, at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Over those years I've heard cancer story after cancer story after cancer story. Just wanted to say that this is one of the most well spoken, "real", and articulate narratives of an experience I've seen. So well done, genuine, and heartfelt - all with such an amazing attitude and perspective. I'm sure you know how incredibly lucky you are to have the partner you do to be there through it all - that can be such a make or break component. Your comment about not being able to "unsee, or unhear" what you've seen and heard is spot on - it changes you forever. Congrats on your success, and best of luck!
The partner is god sent. Hes super sweet supportive, resilience and such a solid rock. Taking care of someone sick is quite draining physically and emotionally. But he did it with such grace. Beautiful human ❤
I hope you both stay healthy. It is difficult, but once you get beyond 5 years, they consider you to be cured. It's been 36 years since I finished chemo, and still going strong.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Guys I found you recently, and from the very beginning I was hooked watching your videos, at times watching like a marathon of them at work on my breaks. Having said that, I haven't cried like this since I lost my mother, and even now as I watched your 1yr. cancer free video, I'm shedding happy tears for you both. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
One of baseball players in my college had testicular cancer and after surgery and chemo, he was free of cancer and has had no recurrences years later. I bet this will be your case, too. Best wishes, Scotty! You are a survivor and also a wonderful life-partner to help you through this.
This is amazing Scotty I’m also a cancer patient/ survivor so I know those emotions you have felt and it’s horrible ! On the plus side we are still here so we must remember that wishing you the best from Ireland 😊
All the good vibes!! My partner got testicular cancer when we first started dating and it definitely brought close together. I wanted to be a positive support for him and show him he can get threw it together! It's been 2 years this month and all looks good 😊
Awesome-Thats wonderful to hear! So ridiculous particularly as masques do not work except for very short periods of time while visiting a sick person! Viruses always enter the eyes, ears, nose, & mouth! KBC BScMScDSW ( PhD ) Microbiology
Incredible journey of two-Spirited young men facing El Diablo with courage, vulnerability, and love! May Creator Bless, Guide and Protect you both! 👵🏽👋🏾🍃🦬🍃🙏🏽
As a caretaker for my mom's cancer journey: exhaustion, information overload but worth it. She is here with us, cancer free +10 years. Aqua cheers to the journey ahead fellas. NE Az in the house.
Your bravery and honesty are incredible. Thank you for using your platform to tell this important story about self-care, physical, emotional and mental. Your story, and your love is inspiring. Please consider keeping a journal as you continue your journey. You have an important story to tell. My prayers for your continued good health and love story.
Thanks so much, Tom! I/we really appreciate it! We will definitely keep documenting our journey and try to do our best to raise awareness. ❤️ Hope you’re doing well!!
I’m going through this right now. Surgery for my cancer is on March 3rd. I’ve been freaked out for a long time. Can’t wait to get through this. Thank you for your video. It really helps.
I have watched and cried through the video, I am also going through cancer colorectal I had radiation and chemo with pills but the cancer came back in the same area , now iam waiting for the scans results hopefully it has not spread , I am praying for you . Respectfully Tony from beautiful Miami Beach ⛱️ Florida
Scotty and Mike, I am so sorry you had to go through this. It sucks. I am so glad you had each other for love and support. I pray for you, that you remain healthy always. Thank you for sharing your story because we can learn so much from your experience and your attitude. May God bless you guys always.
Watching this video for a second time after almost six weeks, brings home to me just how wonderful it is to find the person you rely on in life, and how you can not put a price on the value of unconditional love. Continued good health for you i hope!
OMG you sweet guys! I'm sitting here literally crying my eyes out. Scotty you are so amazingly strong and Mike you are a super hero. You are so lucky to have each other! Sending good vibes out to the universe for your total recovery. ♥️
Wishing you a speedy recovery and peace during these trying times! To anyone else fighting an illness or going through hardships I'm sending you good thoughts, hoping for the best. Fight on!
i love you two for loving each other truly, even in the midst of that dreaded sickness. it is a great consolation that the big c is curable and i am praying that you scotty will survive this. it is so admirable on your part to be telling us this story. i do shed tears (i was actually crying for the most part of this video) for the love you have shown and the strength you are able to convey to a follower or subscriber like me. you are so strong scotty or you are just holding back the tears. i will wish for a superhero in my life like this blue eyed beautiful specimen called mike.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have had to leave my mother at the emergency twice lately ans it’s very weird. I was feeling so bad leaving her there all by herself. And then you keep watching your phone for news. Not fun for the sick person and not fun for the caretaker. I hope you keep on being ok. You certainly have the right attitude. Thank God you were there for each other. Take care!🙏🙏🙏
My dad had testicular cancer and has been cancer free for over 10 years now! I promise it gets better. Surround yourself in love and positivity as much as possible! Lots of love from a girl in Ottawa
Scott my heart goes out to you. I haven't gone through what you have, but, I'm now 73 and I ended up with a lump on my testicle and thought the worst. Turned out I had a cyst and it's about the size of 1/2 my testicle. Now I'm noticing my other one starting out similar. Down the road I got a urinary infection and when they did blood work told me I had a psa level of 17 and should be 5 or 6. I was sent to the Cancer Clinic. Scary shit, then I was scheduled for my day there to be tested and then a month before I got a reply and I finally found out, "you are cancer free." I was married, divorced and came out 28 yrs. ago so yes, I am family. I have been through more as well. I wish you all the best and I heart goes out to you both, Scott & Mike. I've had no one for support and yes, it makes you a stronger person.
Cancer does suck. Two people I my life have had to battle it and haven't been as lucky. Hope it never comes back for you. Thanks for sharing your story.
I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to have gone through all that you have, and I am so glad that you seem to have come through it successfully. I don’t blame you in the slightest for waiting to talk about it because of the energy you had to expend experiencing it. I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly, and I’m especially glad you had Mike there to give you unwavering support.
Oh Scotty you are one brave dude. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. and I'm thankful that Mike was with you all the way even though Covid put a damper on things. So thankful that you have each other. You both are just beautiful!
Scotty, I have followed you for many years. You and Mike are beyond precious to so many in this hectic world and we so appreciate your openness on this topic. I pray God’s Providence gives you immeasurable opened doors as a result of this experience in His plan for y’all. Grace be with you my friends!!! Love y’all! ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing this very difficult situation. Not only is it incredibly brave and public spirited of you, but it clearly demonstrates the strength of your relationship and your own personal integrity. I’m so glad they got you early and it’s a successful treatment.
So sorry that you had to go through this. Thank goodness you have a great guy by your side. Thanks for sharing, hopefully your story will help someone else. 💘
I was wondering why you guys stopped posting when i felt like your channel was gonna pop off. Never cross my mind this was the case. Cried like a baby watching this... All the love and support! You will beat it!
I am so so sorry that you have had to go through all of this and so glad you are Ok now. I have been thinking about you for months! Thank you for sharing your story. And always for sharing your light and love. Our world needs you, Scotty! 💕
This just came up in my feed for some reason. I watched it when it first came out but decided to watch it again tonight. I lost my oldest sister to cancer 5 months ago and I know what she went through. It took 1.5 years to kill her. She started with lung cancer and it moved to her brain. I am so glad that everything is going well for you as far as the cancer is going. I hope it never comes back and you and Mike have a long happy life together! I don't know how long I have been following you here and on twitter but I knew that every time I saw pictures of you two together that you belonged together as husbands (and would once in a while say so, lol)
I am very happy you are doing a lot better. I had colon cancer so I know first hand what your struggle must have been like. Hope you get back to your ' new normal' soon.
I was just looking at the dunta dun video w/ your g'parents and saw this my cancer story title. I welled up a little bit and just apologized to God and prayed anyone else Lord but not him. But things happen for a reason and I hope your a better man for that journey. So thankful for the strong partner you have so you didn't have to do it alone. I can't imagine the tears he cried not being able to hold you. You continue to be amazing and take care of yourself and yours. Bye now. Oh yeah. Love you...
I went to UA-cam and watched the influencers after listening to this story. It was so funny, and I had a hard time imagining what you all were going through at the time. I’m glad things are looking up.
Whenever UA-camrs post real-talk stuff like this it feels like a dream: Diseases, break-ups, etc. Even now this seems like it's mentally overwhelming for you guys, but you're so lucky to have each other to work through this, and Mike really does seem like the perfect supporter in this time. Good to hear you're recovering!
I cannot imagine what you guys went through. Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy you are okay. ❤️ You guys are rockstars! Everything will definitely be well from now on!
Best of luck to you both. Scotty please make sure Mike takes care of himself. Sees that counselor. You could still see fear in his eyes and tone. Wow! To be that loved and cared for. I saw that in the eyes of my husband. Unlucky with cancer but lucky in love!
Thank you both for your honesty. Your story helps other people see what a loving relationship looks like. Continue to take care of yourselves first and be proud of what you you have done.
I can't imagine how physically and emotionally draining this experience has been for both of you! And to have it happen during a pandemic is just devastating! But coming out of this darkness you will become much stronger, wiser and appreciate life so much more. You are both not only gorgeous on the outside but you have such beautiful hearts in souls! Continue to lean on each other, think positive thoughts and appreciate every day as you continue to recover. Wishing you both a long, happy and healthy life together!❤❤
Thank you for sharing ❤ Hoping this is a small hurdle on your way to a lifetime of happiness. Encouragement for many of us who are or have faced major medical. Sorry if my GET WELL hugs are so tight they hurt 🤗🤗🤗
I was diagnosed with lymphoma in August 2013 & went through 6 months of chemo @ the local VA hospital. On 9/9/99 they removed my prostate for prostate cancer. 21 years later in 2020 the cancer returned. They are now treating it with hormone therapy. I get a hormone shot every 6 months. The hormone shot does not kill the cancer, it just slows the growth. I was also diagnosed with HIV+ in 2011. My latest T-cell count was 1009 which is fantastic & my viral load is undetectable. Stay positive & keep fighting!!!
Scotty, you are an incredibly brave man and a survivor. Thank you for telling us your story. It is almost certain to help someone else dealing with their cancer diagnosis. It is at times like this that you know who the people you can trust are. Mike is your angel.
Thank you gents for sharing your story and using your celebrity for good. My partner and I went through a similar situation with my cancer diagnosis and chemo treatment, and it is such great advice to check yourself out and listen to your body. Your video is informative and inspirational and I wish you both continued good health and success.
I've been going through the experience of.. Loving a best friend who's dealing with severe depression As you could imagine, he all of a sudden went silent and didn't talk to me or tell me what was wrong with him at all, he kept pushing me away Said stuff like "I don't wanna be your friend!" "Go away!" "leave me alone" I didn't get mad at him as much as I got worried.. I went over to his place and met him.. I cried there and asked desperately why he was pushing me away so hard.. Why he was harsh on me.. What've I done to deserve this He hugged me very tightly and said he's sorry.. It felt like his depression disappeared all out of a sudden just like it appeared all out of a sudden.. He explained that he easily get irritated and angry and the smaller and stupidest things ANY human does and he simply can't tolerate it, he said that he can't handle anybody's emotions or needs, he said that he doesn't want to see me or talk to me because I'm very important to him that he's afraid he would get angry at me and literally cut me off completely.. The next few days I started trying to reach out and ask how he's doing.. I started apologising for pressuring him and even got him his favourite snacks and drink and had a fun night at his place He said he's grateful but didn't feel grateful, that his depression was standing in the way.. And begged me not to talk to him again I admit.. I made the mistake of taking it personal and got angry with him and I snapped.. I bursted to his house and demanded that we meet I talked about how hurt I was that he kept pushing me away and treating me like garbage, talked about how much it hurt me when I expected him to be there for the most important events in my life but he never even cared.. I talked about how annoyed I was he still thinks I'm gay because I told him I thought I was like 2 years ago and then took my time to reconsider and finally decided I was not gay.. He didn't seem to take that in He said something like "since I was born I've lost faith in all humanity except for one.. And that was you.. Ramez, for the last time I'm depressed and I can't handle you.. And I can't feel emotions right now... Stay away from me." I said fine and asked him if it's okey if I come to visit or say hi sometimes.. He said no, it has to be him to come and say hi when he feels better or feels like changing.. I haven't talked to him for a few days, just sharing memes with him and laughing about it, nothing else.. I miss him so much and I'm dead worried about him And I can't forgive myself for making so many mistakes... I didn't give him the thing which he most needed and that was caring... I mean, I did care but I pushed it too far and forced him outside his comfort zone... I wish my story helped anyone out there dealing with someone they love who is depressed... Don't leave them but don't force being there for them They still love you and appreciate your presence in their lives.. They just need time just like Mike here needed to endure 6 months without his boyfriend..
Wow, that was very devastating to hear, but glad you guys are in a much better place now. You're very lucky to have somebody to look after you Scotty. Sending love from California.
Three years ago, I went through 9 hour surgery for colon cancer and 4 rounds of chemo, and rang the bell. The chemo was by far the hardest. But I made it and have been in remission for 3 years. I understand and feel your journey. Best wishes to both of you with the rest of your lives. Take care and Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing! I’m not much of a crier, but this definitely had me in tears. I’m glad to see that you’re doing better, and you have each other to help get through this. Sending you both lots of love and positivity!
So understand. Glad you have each other, family and friends to help both of you to go such a hard tine. Ring that bell. So glad you are doing so good....you 2 have been greatly missed.
After all you two have been through, i'm so glad your doing better! I'll say a prayer for ya and keep your collective chins up! You both are a great source of joy n happiness for me! 😉
Wow, I felt everything you described. My cancer was a little different, I have skin cancer. For the 1st couple of years my skin specialist would tell me that the spots on my face were age spots. They looked like old bruises to me but wouldn't go away. But him telling me they were age spots I nothing of them but I keep watching them change. And old site where he had frozen Basal cell came back. This time I would have to have it surgically removed and so before referring me to another skin site where the surgery could be done, and in North Carolina there are only two clinics that do this surgery. The bruises were Melanomas. I felt your fear I will never forget, everything I read said that Melanomas left untreated could metastasize, and these had been there for at less 2 years. I have this huge hole on my forhead that stayed open for 3 months. I was so petrified. In the mean time surgeries continue on my face. To break the silence we, Nurses, doctor, and I would joke about my carved face. This far I have had 17 surgeries to remove cancer. Now I have to return to this clinic for examinations for skin cancer and everytime they find a new one. So for going on and on. Before this I had never had so much as a stitch, now everyday I face all the skin grafts and scars. No one really understands unless they been there.
Hi. Just found you guys,,,,so I’m going to binge to catch up. CANCER ,,,, wow,,, so happy to see your through it ,,,, I went through Prostate cancer myself last year . Again I’m through it,, so here’s to the Survivors,,, but it’s a very unpleasant part of life to deal with,,,, you both look like a tight couple and that’s sooo important,,,you’re a nice couple so for how I’ll send you both much love and respect,,,,, love each other and every day you have together. John , LONDON.
Guys, I am so very truly sorry to hear what you've gone through these past months; however, thankful that you are recovering. Your message on this video is so important and I am confident will help others. You're truly brave in sharing and giving a true picture of what you went through. My thoughts and prayers are with you both! I've always enjoyed your videos as you seem like truly great guys with so much talent, positive spirit and love. Glad that you have each other!! Regards.
Scotty, so sorry and it's hard to believe. You always seemed energetic and healthy. Glad to see your partner is being supportive. Some would have walked out the door. Good luck to you. Posted first part before I watched entire video. Shed a few tears for y'all. I don't see how y'all got thru this video without crying. If you feel like crying, plz don't block it. It's a good release.💕 NOW, loved the scene at 21:30 with the snow and decorations. I live about 50 M S of Charlotte in SC and didn't see a single flake all winter.😒
omg. was heartbroken to hear your story. Feb in Calgary, we got the shock of our lives. My sister had a sudden seizure and found out she had a mass which turned out to be brain cancer. She had been through so much in her life with having 2 kidney transplants and even surviving through another deadly virus. With Covid, things were just much harder. So much piled up over the last few years it felt like hit rock bottom. The Kemo treatments have been working as they cannot do surgery to remove it. She still has many more weeks left of treatment. The next one is the big one and she will be in hospital for couple of weeks as this one kills all cells including any vaccine you have gotten since birth so you are completely vulnerable to anything. Also, with her having a kidney transplant and on anti-rejection meds, it just makes the treatment that much more dangerous and has to be monitored daily so can take corrective action quickly as needed to make sure it doesn't attack the kidney. Yes, it was so hard as she has been through so much but we were always allowed in the hospital there to help her through it. Cause of Covid, this was the first time she had to go in by herself and no one there to be by her side. That affects a person much more mentally.
My heart was breaking for you guys all through the video. I'm so happy that things are getting better and I hope everything will be OK. I can only imagine how hard it must've been to do this all alone at the hospital because of Covid. You guys are amazing and strong and I'm wishing you all the best and lots of health and happiness cos you guys deserve it! Love to you both! ❤️
Hi. Scotty. I’ve just watched this thank you for sharing your story hope your doing great when I watch your videos now your looking great take care. Lots of love❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I loved you guys before, but I totally respect and am impressed by you now. Mike's been my fantasy boyfriend for a while now. I'm thrilled to learn that he's as beautiful inside as he is outside. You picked the right life partner, Scotty. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Scotty, you are an inspiration and a true influencer . May God bless and keep you both. Much love...many prayers, from Ct. Ron L.
I love you guys so much and I hope you feel better. If I’m gonna talk about my cancer journey, I’ll need my own channel. But to sum it up, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon adenocarcinoma. I was 19, freshman at med school. I never smoked, never drunk, mediterian diet. My journey is kind of different from what I’ve seen so far because cancer itself didn’t devstate me. It wasn’t a surprise. I actually read the colon biopsy results and told my parents: I know, it’s ok. The thing is I have been having major mental health issues since my first day on earth. I’m a child sexual abuse survivor, divorced parents, narcissitc mother, I live in a terrible country, gay in the closet and diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) so cancer wasn’t the rock bottom for me because my life was already shitty. I actually attempted suicide about a month before I had my colonoscopy, so life is going really weird for me. I think I got the strength to fight cancer not from my “natural instinct to live” because I really don’t care if I died for me at least, it came from knowing that I should stay and fight for my siblings who desprately need me. At that time, the tumor was so big, I barely could eat anything so I lost a lot of weight, I was super tired and asleep for the most of the day. I couldn’t attend my courses so litterally my college “kicked me out”. After 12 courses of chemo, the tumor chrunk down and I had my tumor removed and my intestines reanastmosed . I needed extra 16 courses to prevent further spread but the tumor was so aggressive that now I have mets around my heart. Now I’m on immunetherapy, found a better university and I’m attending all lectures, have new good friends, blending with people so normally. No one would figure out that I’m a cancer patient unless I tell them. I think cancer made me realize that I was asking the wrong questions in life. “Why” isn’t the appropriate question to any problem. It’s “How”. From there I was able to grow and my mental health struggles are slowly healing. There were times during that period when I was unable to do the very minimal things an organism can do. I couldn’t eat, sleep, breathe, talk, think, feel or walk. That made me be more grateful for the things that I have and more proud of the little actions that I do are actually big accomplishments. It soldified our family and brought us closer. I didn’t shave my head because my hair didn’t fall that much. My side effects were very diverse and annoying. One of the most upsetting things was a very vague deblitating pain all over my body, got me hooked on opioids for about 10 months and getting through that addiction post surgery was a huge acheivement and made me believe in myself more. I’m Ok now physically and mentally. For any health professionals out there reading this, my treatment protocol for the first 12 sessions was Avastin + FOLFOX, then 16 Avastin + FOLFIRI. That didn’t work out as much as it was hoped for so now I’m on immunetherapy 6 Erbitux.
Wow, Scotty, I almost have no words! What an incredible story! Thank you for sharing it with us. I think it could really help people, and I hope you'll share more whenever you feel like it. I'm so glad to hear you're doing alright! Sending you lots of love right now and always. ❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry that you both had to go through that but I am happy to hear you are on the mend. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers love from Mississauga!
I don’t comment very often, but this really was a very genuine, honest posting. I wish you the best in your recovery and your relationship.
Thanks this is exactly what i was thinking All the best to Scott & Mike
Thank you! ❤️

Michael and Scotty, you have shown what true and deep love it all about. You guys are an example of what LOVE is.
I hope you both stay healthy. It is difficult, but once you get beyond 5 years, they consider you to be cured. It's been 36 years since I finished chemo, and still going strong.
Love to see two people stay together through sickness and health! If this not make us believe in love nothing will!
Dude, sending Positive Energy your way. You look great and you will beat this.
oh man I cannot imagine what you guys had to go through with the pandemic happening as well... Hope you can get full recovery soon.

On the plus side we are still here so we must remember that wishing you the best from Ireland 😊
You both are my heroes. Cancer does suck. Please get well . You are both incredible.
All the good vibes!! My partner got testicular cancer when we first started dating and it definitely brought close together. I wanted to be a positive support for him and show him he can get threw it together! It's been 2 years this month and all looks good 😊

Cancer does suck. Two people I my life have had to battle it and haven't been as lucky. Hope it never comes back for you. Thanks for sharing your story.
I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to have gone through all that you have, and I am so glad that you seem to have come through it successfully. I don’t blame you in the slightest for waiting to talk about it because of the energy you had to expend experiencing it. I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly, and I’m especially glad you had Mike there to give you unwavering support.
Oh Scotty you are one brave dude. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. and I'm thankful that Mike was with you all the way even though Covid put a damper on things. So thankful that you have each other. You both are just beautiful!
Thank you both for your honesty and sincerity. On the eve of 2022, I wish you both the very best.
Scotty, I have followed you for many years. You and Mike are beyond precious to so many in this hectic world and we so appreciate your openness on this topic. I pray God’s Providence gives you immeasurable opened doors as a result of this experience in His plan for y’all. Grace be with you my friends!!! Love y’all! ❤️🙏🏼
Sorry to hear your are having to endure this, wishing you all the very best.
God bless you both my heart goes out to you both. My son was diagnosed with brain cancer and he is 14 years cancer free I praying for you both ❤
oh we wish you all the best, form Mexico
Thank you for sharing this very difficult situation. Not only is it incredibly brave and public spirited of you, but it clearly demonstrates the strength of your relationship and your own personal integrity. I’m so glad they got you early and it’s a successful treatment.
Thank you! 🙏❤️
Well done. I'm sure this video is helping many others cope.
So sorry that you had to go through this. Thank goodness you have a great guy by your side. Thanks for sharing, hopefully your story will help someone else. 💘
I was wondering why you guys stopped posting when i felt like your channel was gonna pop off. Never cross my mind this was the case. Cried like a baby watching this... All the love and support! You will beat it!
I am so so sorry that you have had to go through all of this and so glad you are Ok now. I have been thinking about you for months! Thank you for sharing your story. And always for sharing your light and love. Our world needs you, Scotty! 💕
This just came up in my feed for some reason. I watched it when it first came out but decided to watch it again tonight. I lost my oldest sister to cancer 5 months ago and I know what she went through. It took 1.5 years to kill her. She started with lung cancer and it moved to her brain. I am so glad that everything is going well for you as far as the cancer is going. I hope it never comes back and you and Mike have a long happy life together! I don't know how long I have been following you here and on twitter but I knew that every time I saw pictures of you two together that you belonged together as husbands (and would once in a while say so, lol)
I am very happy you are doing a lot better. I had colon cancer so I know first hand what your struggle must have been like. Hope you get back to your ' new normal' soon.
I was just looking at the dunta dun video w/ your g'parents and saw this my cancer story title. I welled up a little bit and just apologized to God and prayed anyone else Lord but not him. But things happen for a reason and I hope your a better man for that journey. So thankful for the strong partner you have so you didn't have to do it alone. I can't imagine the tears he cried not being able to hold you. You continue to be amazing and take care of yourself and yours. Bye now. Oh yeah. Love you...
Very courageous and very glad you have each other!
🕊💖🕊💖🕊
I'm so happy you found it when you did. Sending you healing energy and love. Please take care and be safe.
I went to UA-cam and watched the influencers after listening to this story. It was so funny, and I had a hard time imagining what you all were going through at the time. I’m glad things are looking up.
Thanks Shelley!
Whenever UA-camrs post real-talk stuff like this it feels like a dream: Diseases, break-ups, etc.
Even now this seems like it's mentally overwhelming for you guys, but you're so lucky to have each other to work through this, and Mike really does seem like the perfect supporter in this time. Good to hear you're recovering!
I cannot imagine what you guys went through. Thank you for sharing and I'm so happy you are okay. ❤️ You guys are rockstars! Everything will definitely be well from now on!
God bless you and all the people who looked after you xx
Best of luck to you both. Scotty please make sure Mike takes care of himself. Sees that counselor. You could still see fear in his eyes and tone. Wow! To be that loved and cared for. I saw that in the eyes of my husband. Unlucky with cancer but lucky in love!
I wish both you and Mike nothing but the best of health and you to be a successful actor in the future.
Sending you both best wishes, hugs & support from a long way away!! 💕💕💕
Thanks Jane! ❤️
Thank you both for your honesty. Your story helps other people see what a loving relationship looks like. Continue to take care of yourselves first and be proud of what you you have done.
I can't imagine how physically and emotionally draining this experience has been for both of you! And to have it happen during a pandemic is just devastating! But coming out of this darkness you will become much stronger, wiser and appreciate life so much more. You are both not only gorgeous on the outside but you have such beautiful hearts in souls! Continue to lean on each other, think positive thoughts and appreciate every day as you continue to recover. Wishing you both a long, happy and healthy life together!❤❤
Thank you for sharing ❤ Hoping this is a small hurdle on your way to a lifetime of happiness. Encouragement for many of us who are or have faced major medical. Sorry if my GET WELL hugs are so tight they hurt 🤗🤗🤗
Scotty, you were very brave for posting this. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Mike. Please take of yourselves and each other. Love❤
I was diagnosed with lymphoma in August 2013 & went through 6 months of chemo @ the local VA hospital. On 9/9/99 they removed my prostate for prostate cancer. 21 years later in 2020 the cancer returned. They are now treating it with hormone therapy. I get a hormone shot every 6 months. The hormone shot does not kill the cancer, it just slows the growth. I was also diagnosed with HIV+ in 2011. My latest T-cell count was 1009 which is fantastic & my viral load is undetectable. Stay positive & keep fighting!!!
Scotty, you are an incredibly brave man and a survivor. Thank you for telling us your story. It is almost certain to help someone else dealing with their cancer diagnosis. It is at times like this that you know who the people you can trust are. Mike is your angel.
Thank you gents for sharing your story and using your celebrity for good. My partner and I went through a similar situation with my cancer diagnosis and chemo treatment, and it is such great advice to check yourself out and listen to your body. Your video is informative and inspirational and I wish you both continued good health and success.
Praying for you. You can tell mike really loves you.
Yes, he's not just a pretty face.
Oh Scotty, I’m so sorry. Sending you and Mike Love and Light. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Scotty I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry about the cancer you have made me and everybody else deal with me
Been following your life online for over a decade. Glad you’re fighting hard
Thanks Charlie! ❤️
I wish you the best my friend, you got a lot of supporting friends, like your followers, and they as come from all around parts in the world .
I've been going through the experience of.. Loving a best friend who's dealing with severe depression
As you could imagine, he all of a sudden went silent and didn't talk to me or tell me what was wrong with him at all, he kept pushing me away
Said stuff like "I don't wanna be your friend!" "Go away!" "leave me alone"
I didn't get mad at him as much as I got worried.. I went over to his place and met him.. I cried there and asked desperately why he was pushing me away so hard.. Why he was harsh on me.. What've I done to deserve this
He hugged me very tightly and said he's sorry.. It felt like his depression disappeared all out of a sudden just like it appeared all out of a sudden..
He explained that he easily get irritated and angry and the smaller and stupidest things ANY human does and he simply can't tolerate it, he said that he can't handle anybody's emotions or needs, he said that he doesn't want to see me or talk to me because I'm very important to him that he's afraid he would get angry at me and literally cut me off completely..
The next few days I started trying to reach out and ask how he's doing.. I started apologising for pressuring him and even got him his favourite snacks and drink and had a fun night at his place
He said he's grateful but didn't feel grateful, that his depression was standing in the way.. And begged me not to talk to him again
I admit.. I made the mistake of taking it personal and got angry with him and I snapped.. I bursted to his house and demanded that we meet
I talked about how hurt I was that he kept pushing me away and treating me like garbage, talked about how much it hurt me when I expected him to be there for the most important events in my life but he never even cared..
I talked about how annoyed I was he still thinks I'm gay because I told him I thought I was like 2 years ago and then took my time to reconsider and finally decided I was not gay.. He didn't seem to take that in
He said something like "since I was born I've lost faith in all humanity except for one.. And that was you.. Ramez, for the last time I'm depressed and I can't handle you.. And I can't feel emotions right now... Stay away from me."
I said fine and asked him if it's okey if I come to visit or say hi sometimes.. He said no, it has to be him to come and say hi when he feels better or feels like changing..
I haven't talked to him for a few days, just sharing memes with him and laughing about it, nothing else..
I miss him so much and I'm dead worried about him
And I can't forgive myself for making so many mistakes... I didn't give him the thing which he most needed and that was caring...
I mean, I did care but I pushed it too far and forced him outside his comfort zone...
I wish my story helped anyone out there dealing with someone they love who is depressed... Don't leave them but don't force being there for them
They still love you and appreciate your presence in their lives.. They just need time just like Mike here needed to endure 6 months without his boyfriend..
Wow, that was very devastating to hear, but glad you guys are in a much better place now. You're very lucky to have somebody to look after you Scotty. Sending love from California.
Three years ago, I went through 9 hour surgery for colon cancer and 4 rounds of chemo, and rang the bell. The chemo was by far the hardest. But I made it and have been in remission for 3 years. I understand and feel your journey. Best wishes to both of you with the rest of your lives. Take care and Enjoy!
Thank you, both, for sharing your honest and loving story. I am currently going through a health issue, and it has really helped me,
Thank you for sharing! I’m not much of a crier, but this definitely had me in tears. I’m glad to see that you’re doing better, and you have each other to help get through this. Sending you both lots of love and positivity!
Very powerful video.you gentlemen are amazing,
What a journey - you definitely are both very strong and resilient! Your story is inspiring - wishing you continued healing and strength!
So understand. Glad you have each other, family and friends to help both of you to go such a hard tine.
Ring that bell. So glad you are doing so good....you 2 have been greatly missed.
Bless You Scotty And Mike. Sending you positive vibes, prayers and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
You are such a hero and have the best partner with you. My prayers for you. Thank you for sharing your story.
After all you two have been through, i'm so glad your doing better! I'll say a prayer for ya and keep your collective chins up! You both are a great source of joy n happiness for me! 😉
Truly inspiring - stay well ❤
Wow, I felt everything you described. My cancer was a little different, I have skin cancer. For the 1st couple of years my skin specialist would tell me that the spots on my face were age spots. They looked like old bruises to me but wouldn't go away. But him telling me they were age spots I nothing of them but I keep watching them change. And old site where he had frozen Basal cell came back. This time I would have to have it surgically removed and so before referring me to another skin site where the surgery could be done, and in North Carolina there are only two clinics that do this surgery. The bruises were Melanomas. I felt your fear I will never forget, everything I read said that Melanomas left untreated could metastasize, and these had been there for at less 2 years. I have this huge hole on my forhead that stayed open for 3 months. I was so petrified. In the mean time surgeries continue on my face. To break the silence we, Nurses, doctor, and I would joke about my carved face. This far I have had 17 surgeries to remove cancer. Now I have to return to this clinic for examinations for skin cancer and everytime they find a new one. So for going on and on. Before this I had never had so much as a stitch, now everyday I face all the skin grafts and scars. No one really understands unless they been there.
You guys are the sweetest couple ever. Stay strong. 💕💕💕

Scotty, so sorry and it's hard to believe. You always seemed energetic and healthy. Glad to see your partner is being supportive. Some would have walked out the door.
Good luck to you.
Posted first part before I watched entire video. Shed a few tears for y'all. I don't see how y'all got thru this video without crying. If you feel like crying, plz don't block it. It's a good release.💕
NOW, loved the scene at 21:30 with the snow and decorations. I live about 50 M S of Charlotte in SC and didn't see a single flake all winter.😒
Sending you prayers and strength 🌹 Please keep us posted. Love and hugs to you both 🌹🌹
omg. was heartbroken to hear your story. Feb in Calgary, we got the shock of our lives. My sister had a sudden seizure and found out she had a mass which turned out to be brain cancer. She had been through so much in her life with having 2 kidney transplants and even surviving through another deadly virus. With Covid, things were just much harder. So much piled up over the last few years it felt like hit rock bottom. The Kemo treatments have been working as they cannot do surgery to remove it. She still has many more weeks left of treatment. The next one is the big one and she will be in hospital for couple of weeks as this one kills all cells including any vaccine you have gotten since birth so you are completely vulnerable to anything. Also, with her having a kidney transplant and on anti-rejection meds, it just makes the treatment that much more dangerous and has to be monitored daily so can take corrective action quickly as needed to make sure it doesn't attack the kidney. Yes, it was so hard as she has been through so much but we were always allowed in the hospital there to help her through it. Cause of Covid, this was the first time she had to go in by herself and no one there to be by her side. That affects a person much more mentally.
My heart was breaking for you guys all through the video. I'm so happy that things are getting better and I hope everything will be OK. I can only imagine how hard it must've been to do this all alone at the hospital because of Covid. You guys are amazing and strong and I'm wishing you all the best and lots of health and happiness cos you guys deserve it! Love to you both! ❤️
Love you both! Thanks for sharing this story.
Much love to you both!! ❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing your story! So glad you are on the mend! ✌️
Awesome that your doing well and thanks for sharing and reminding everyone to get checked out!
Thank you! ❤️
Bless the two of you. Sending you both waves of strength.
Hi. Scotty. I’ve just watched this thank you for sharing your story hope your doing great when I watch your videos now your looking great take care. Lots of love❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I loved you guys before, but I totally respect and am impressed by you now. Mike's been my fantasy boyfriend for a while now. I'm thrilled to learn that he's as beautiful inside as he is outside. You picked the right life partner, Scotty. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Scotty, you are an inspiration and a true influencer . May God bless and keep you both. Much love...many prayers, from Ct. Ron L.
I love you guys so much and I hope you feel better. If I’m gonna talk about my cancer journey, I’ll need my own channel. But to sum it up, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon adenocarcinoma. I was 19, freshman at med school. I never smoked, never drunk, mediterian diet. My journey is kind of different from what I’ve seen so far because cancer itself didn’t devstate me. It wasn’t a surprise. I actually read the colon biopsy results and told my parents: I know, it’s ok. The thing is I have been having major mental health issues since my first day on earth. I’m a child sexual abuse survivor, divorced parents, narcissitc mother, I live in a terrible country, gay in the closet and diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) so cancer wasn’t the rock bottom for me because my life was already shitty. I actually attempted suicide about a month before I had my colonoscopy, so life is going really weird for me. I think I got the strength to fight cancer not from my “natural instinct to live” because I really don’t care if I died for me at least, it came from knowing that I should stay and fight for my siblings who desprately need me. At that time, the tumor was so big, I barely could eat anything so I lost a lot of weight, I was super tired and asleep for the most of the day. I couldn’t attend my courses so litterally my college “kicked me out”. After 12 courses of chemo, the tumor chrunk down and I had my tumor removed and my intestines reanastmosed . I needed extra 16 courses to prevent further spread but the tumor was so aggressive that now I have mets around my heart. Now I’m on immunetherapy, found a better university and I’m attending all lectures, have new good friends, blending with people so normally. No one would figure out that I’m a cancer patient unless I tell them. I think cancer made me realize that I was asking the wrong questions in life. “Why” isn’t the appropriate question to any problem. It’s “How”. From there I was able to grow and my mental health struggles are slowly healing. There were times during that period when I was unable to do the very minimal things an organism can do. I couldn’t eat, sleep, breathe, talk, think, feel or walk. That made me be more grateful for the things that I have and more proud of the little actions that I do are actually big accomplishments. It soldified our family and brought us closer.
I didn’t shave my head because my hair didn’t fall that much. My side effects were very diverse and annoying. One of the most upsetting things was a very vague deblitating pain all over my body, got me hooked on opioids for about 10 months and getting through that addiction post surgery was a huge acheivement and made me believe in myself more. I’m Ok now physically and mentally. For any health professionals out there reading this, my treatment protocol for the first 12 sessions was Avastin + FOLFOX, then 16 Avastin + FOLFIRI. That didn’t work out as much as it was hoped for so now I’m on immunetherapy 6 Erbitux.
You are such a BIGGGGG inspiration !!!! :) Stay strong :)
Thank you for sharing your story. Blessings to you both.
Wow, Scotty, I almost have no words! What an incredible story! Thank you for sharing it with us. I think it could really help people, and I hope you'll share more whenever you feel like it. I'm so glad to hear you're doing alright! Sending you lots of love right now and always. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your journey. Sending positive vibes
I am so sorry that you both had to go through that but I am happy to hear you are on the mend. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers love from Mississauga!
