Hi guys, I am so glad that you have posted your story because we are all responsible to help each other and you have certainly done that. I am a retired cancer nurse and my husband, tom, and I will celebrate 47 years together in March. If I can ever do anything at all for you,please let me know and it would be an honor to share my life experiences with you. Have a great holiday and stay happy, Ray Moderski.
This wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card but…here’s why we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months. We love you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday season! See you all in the new year. ❤
I’m sorry you had to go through that! After 6 years my cancer came back, but I’m alone this time. (End of 12 year relationship) I will tell you, you make it easier. Thanks for smiling. I hope to make it thru to other side.
I hope, after this incident, your cancer will not reemerge! I celebrated Halloween by having my left lung removed due to cancer. This year I will celebrate Christmas and New Year by having daily radiation therapy and weekly chemotherapy until the end of January. My most positive wishes to you and Mike on your journey through life together. Scotty-I wish you a very healthy 2023.
My heart sank when I read the title Scotty and Mike. As a cancer survivor/healthcare provider that has been following your journey, I understand what an emotional roller coaster you guys have been on. I am beyond happy your biopsy was negative, your attitudes so positive, and you both show tremendous strength and resilience under the worst of circumstances. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year!
Love you both, Scotty, please take care. Mike, make sure you take good care of your self, Scotty needs you. Mike, give Scotty's cookies extra good loving, they've been though a lot. Sending lots of healing love.
That video was so raw and emotional. I can't believe how much you have had to endure as a person and a couple. For whatever it's worth i am sending positive energy your way!!
The two of you are an inspiration for all of us. The love, patience, warmth, and respect you both have for each other is illustrative of the normality of gay couples in this world. You both deserve an amazing 2023 and you’ll have it when you make it out to Vancouver look me up how long to take you guys For helicopter flight in our coastal mountains on me.
You're both amazing men. I hope that you continue to love each other and stay healthy. You've done the "in sickness" part now enjoy the "in health" part of your lives.
What a harrowing story! I'm so relived the nodes were not cancerous. All the best to you two in the new year. Let 2023 be a year of renewal and happiness for you both. I was truly moved by your very honest telling.
When I first saw video name, I literally said-not again. Mike is an Earth Angel. How lucky Scott is to have someone so devoted and understanding. Scott has been thru a lot but Mike suffered, too. Scott is a trouper. He hasn't given up and remains positive.
As a testicular cancer survivor (4 years NED and hopefully counting)... I get what you're going through (I had the SAME surgery BUT in my case the cancer was live (chemo didn't do the full job) and they couldn't resect the lymph nodes)) and I was sewn up (with no positive outlook) and sent back for another full round of chemo which FINALLY took and led to my no evidence of disease (NED) that I've been able to keep since then. I know exactly what you and your fiancee are feeling. Best wishes and warm healing winds to you both that it will move into your rear window for good. Happy holidays!
Omg you poor babies! That sounded horrible, please don't let this happen again ! I don't think I could go through this again! Hope to see your wedding when it happens! We all deserve it.
Hey, watch you guys from time to time and was this ever a moment that a higher power reached out to deliver a message I needed to hear; I’d been kinda retreating from responsibilities lately: feeling overwhelmed ( both parents sick, condo flooded from upstairs neighbors, feeling shitty for a week or so. Anyway, today I thought, fuck xmass, I’m to tired to put up a tree and I’m listening to the traumatic shit you’ve both been going through with a fully decorated tree behind you! Your my heroes! It’s strange how the world speaks to you if you listen. God bless you both, have a safe and happy year and please keep us posted. Love from ken and bob, Clearwater, fl.
I am so sorry that you guys had to go through this Scotty and Mike!!! The two of you are amazing together and it is obvious that it was meant to be that you found each other. I am so happy for you and the news that the cancer has not returned. Thank you for updating us! Love you guys!!
Hey Scotty, my name is Parker I’m from Phoenix, AZ. I just want to say you are so strong during all of the ups and downs that you have been having with the cancer news/scares. I am an inpatient pharmacy technician at hospital here is Gilbert, AZ that specializes in oncology. I am also one of the pharmacy technicians that makes the Chemotherapy that we use for our patients. You are so brave and strong for undergoing your treatments in the past and it hope you never have to go through that ever again. Every time I get ready to make a Chemo while I’m putting on my special chemo gown and second pair of gloves to protect me from those cytotoxic medications and the special syringes that I use during the process to protect me from the medication and the gasses that come from it, I am still in shock sometimes how patients are able to withstand there treatments especially with the higher doses. Since I am a part of the treatment team I got to experience a couple of times when patients get to ring the bell at the end of there treatment I have never cried so much at work it was a very heart warming feeling. I wish you all of the best in your journey and hope you remain in remission!
In 9/9/99 they removed my prostate. 21 years later the cancer returned. They are now treating it with a hormone shot every 6 months @ the local VA hospital. Then in August 2013 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma & went through 6 months of chemo @ the VA. My PSA is 0.01 which means the prostate cancer is under control. The lymphoma has been in remission since February 14, 2014 so fingers crossed there. The VA keeps a close eye on my labs & take good care of me. Prayers for you guys. Thanks for the video.
I am so sorry for what you have been through Scotty, but glad for the results! I am glad you had the best caregiver in Mike! Look forward to your wedding. Take care, stay safe. Merry Christmas from Mississauga 🎄
First time watching your channel. Mike, the PTSD is so real. As a Caregiver myself to a multiple surgery cancer patient I can tell you I know your pain. My partner is an amazing tower of strength and often I feel so pathetic. This is a tough journey you’re on. She has 2 ctscans on Monday so the “Scanxiety “ has kicked in. Waiting for results is dreadful. Aren’t you just so grateful you’re in Canada and treatment cost isn’t an issue? Best of everything for the new year for you both! Fingers crossed ‘23 is healthy and happy for you both.
That video made me cry I’m so so happy that you are okay. I have a connection with you because of my son he was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 16 and now he is 31 and still cancer free. I am so happy that you are okay ❤
You guys are unbelievable! Wow! Scotty, you're a rock star. Mike, God bless you. Thank you being such a great guy, and for loving Scotty so much. Rest, relax, recover, then go have the wedding of your dreams and live happily ever after. You've earned the right to do nothing but live your best lives from now on. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎄 HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Only the best in 2023. Much love... many prayers 💕🛐 from central Ct., U.S.A. Ron and Pat
OMG,,,, this is beyond awful for you both,,,,, I’m in my second year after Prostate Cancer ,,, so I have a little empathy, but I’m hoping you’re going to be good to each other,,,,,, I’ll be keeping a watch out for you,,,,, and of course All my Prayers and as much Karma as it’s possible to muster….. I’m sending in your direction,,,,, bless you both,,,,, lots of love and have a Wonderful Christmas,, and the best 2023 possible,,,, the Wedding Year, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇳🇴🇩🇰🇨🇳🇷🇺🇬🇧🇧🇴🇦🇺🇮🇪🇳🇿🇫🇷🇮🇸🇩🇪🏳🌈🇺🇦🇯🇵
Scotty & Mike: I'm glad to have run across your site. I'm so sorry that you have had to go through cancer twice now. I have a dear friend I met back decades ago in college who had breast cancer diagnosed in 2021 and went through a long round of chemo, only in April of this year to find the breast cancer and metastasized to her pancreas, for which she's still undergoing chemo. She has a truly wonderful, supportive husband, which I can tell you have with Mike. It takes a lot of determination and energy to fight this horrendous disease. I wish for you both a wonderful holiday season, and that 2023 in the years to come will hold only good health news for you. And Mike, you are truly an angel of strength and love for Scotty. Stay brave, stay strong. And have a wonderful wedding!
Oh my gosh Scotty and Mike! I am so sorry you had to go through this for a second time! I am a breast cancer survivor (9 years since diagnosis and going strong🙌🏽)! Cancer f’ing sucks! I think your 1st round was “easier” because you didn’t know what to expect. You just trusted the professionals (out of necessity) to do right by you. I know for me it felt like (and I was) I was literally putting my life into the hands of complete strangers. Second time around you had experience and were like oh hell no, I don’t want to do this again! You basically knew to much! Anyway, all that to say, I happy everything turned out well! I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2023! Cheers to your strength and the love you share! Take care! Much love and big hugs!
I'm amazed by the strength and courage you both have. Scotty you are an amazing person and I cannot imagine what you've been through. I'm just glad you have your amazing partner Mike to love and support you. I hope that 2023 is the best year of your lives. Much love ❤️
I can't believe you two are so POSITIVE after all you've been through! It's a real lesson to the rest of us. I'm happy you found each other! Have a fantastic 2023!
I nearly passed this by thinking. Oh, I've heard his cancer story before. It cannot be a new instance. Regrettably, it was. I am so sorry you've both had this horror reenter your lives just as you had every reason to be looking toward your future. Thrilling to know medicine has given you back your life. Marching forward with good health and happiness together.
I tried really hard not to get emotional, but am so happy that you are doing so well. Thanks for the update, and Merry Christmas and happy New Year to both of you.
Sending you two nothing but positive vibes and well wishes! Glad to know you two have each other, and you’ve got plenty of love from all your friends and families.
We haven't been following your channel very regularly like a lot of people here, but we have seen maybe a handful of vlogs and knew about the previous cancer, and we e are so incredibly sorry to hear that you have to fight this battle again. The unknown is always nerve-racking, but having each other's support will make such a difference in getting through it all. You're strong, your healthy, you're resilient, and the odds are that you'll beat it again. Just for a little reassurance, my mother-in-law beat two bouts of breast cancer and one bout of stomach cancer (!) during a 10-year period but has been totally cancer-free for more than 10 years now. Lots of people are multiple cancer survivors, and you're going to be one of them! Sending healing prayers to you both.
So strong and resilient!! Thank you for sharing your story and giving a face to cancer! Thankful you are successfully recovering and that you have each other to lean on. Both of you are amazing and I am praying for your complete recovery !!❤
I'm so sorry that you boys had to go through this again. Glad that the ultimate news was positive. Through all of this, be thankful that you have each other. You're a great couple and although we haven't met, and probably never will, I believe that you create an environment online that is welcoming and warm like talking with friends. All the best for your future. Congratulations on your engagement!
Oh my God… the hell you too have been through… So glad to hear that it hasn’t come back… and hopefully you can now comfortably focus the good things your future holds…!!!
You are both deeply loved by your families and fans, and your love for each other has carried you through this ordeal. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️
Gosh! What a gut-wrenching experience. I'm so glad that this time around there was no sign of cancer coming back. I wish you all the best. You both are great and deserve the best luck in the world. Much love from an old guy from Buenos Aires City, Argentina...way, way south.
Okay, getting past the fact that you both are such cutie pies, this touched me so much and I'm so happy that you are in the clear and may you both have long happy healthy lives. I'm an old fart, I'll be 68 this summer. I had polio as a kid and many health problems but then for about 30 years I reinvented myself and worked out and was very healthy until I hit my late 40s, and post polio syndrome kicked in among other things and I have been sick off and on, mostly on, for the past 20 years. Many surgeries, much much chronic pain, and depression. I have to admit that there are times I feel sorry for myself, but I will also admit that after watching your story I gave myself an attitude adjustment. I've lived much longer than you guys and I've had a lot of good years in there, so I can't complain. What you had to go through at such a young age is unbelievable and I hate to admit that you are both way more mature than I am lol. I'm kind of rambling because I'm tired, but I just want to say happy healthy long lives to both of you, you seem like very sweet kind people and your love for each other is very touching. Never lose that. Signed, old guy. XX
I’m so glad your getting better. I really feel for you both. My husband was on and off in the hospital for different reasons for a year. At home his scrotom would get huge at least 3 times through the entire 1 to two months. As his husband I could only feel such pain watching him like that. The doctors would say it’s just edema and it will go away. But would happen again, so bad the doctor had to devise a sling to hold them. As his husband you can feel the same thing, the pain, the uncomfortable feeling there going through. Any way, I just want to praise loving caregiver’s that are are there for thier spouses or spouses, they go through a lot of pain and discomfort and worry, and it’s so hard to see your loved one in a helpless situation. My love goes out to you Scotty, but a special love goes to Mike for being a good partner and caregiver. Good luck to you both
Hi, Scotty and Mike ! I happened across your channel by chance. But, I know your journey. My husband and I were long term survivors of HIV/AIDS (from 1980’s) when Gary contracted non-treatable HepC. He lived almost 12 years with a 6 month life expectancy. Mike … I know what you are going through! And, Scotty … Bless you ! My love grew deeper and deeper for my 30+ year partner and 12 week husband (when marriage equality FINALLY became the law of the land !). Thank you for your story, and God-speed !
I’m sorry for your latest challenge…and joyous for the final answers . Your love and support for each other is a guide for your followers. Wishing you a better holiday season and the best next year ever. ❤
Sorry that you both have to go through this but it's a relief to hear that the cancer haven't returned. Things will get better for you both with a brighter future ahead. Wishing all the best.
So sorry that you guys had to go down that emotional rollercoaster. Extremely glad that the news was great in the end. Always know we love you both so much and you guys are always in our prayers. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season and we will be here with you in January.
Guys, I am so very, very sorry you are going thru all this. Thank goodness you have each other and love of friends, family and your video friends. Take care of each other, continue the love and positive thoughts that you spread and my best regards!!
In my gut, I knew something was wrong by your absence lately. This brought tears hearing it. It's SO unfair, but I'm so glad despite what you've been through, that you're in a good place. At least this time it won't encroach on your Christmas too. And as you both say, next year, you have so much to look forward to. Onwards and upwards! I'm sending positive vibes and love your way. Mike I hope you have some support to help with recovering from what you've been through as well. Love and best wishes to you both. I look forward to seeing the fun side of your lives as you build up to you wedding.. Merry Christmas from Australia..
I hate hearing that you had to endure all of that unpleasant experience. Im happy to hear that you’re recovered and received positive results, though! Best wishes to you both for a much better 2023! Thank you for sharing your story - you guys are so positive and uplifting, even when life isn’t going well.
Was so sorry to see the title of this video and see the image. Glad that it was only residuals from before! Best wishes on being in remission and your upcoming nuptials!!!
Dear Scotty & Mike: Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you have to go through this together. You’re both so young and this is so unfair. You’re right! But I so admire you for your apparent strength and consideration for each other. You are both such role models for all of us. I wish you an amazing recovery and that you’ll soon be back into ordinary life which is so blessed. All my best to you. ❤️ Carl McLuhan
Guys, I don't what to say to you except you have one more supporter. I'm genuinely sorry you're having to go through this crap. I just had major surgery too - not cancer, but to the base of my skull; axe attack, disabled, long story... You both sound strong, and that's a lot. Love to you both, xxxx
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I had cancer in 2012 and spent almost the entire year in the hospital receiving aggressive treatment and had numerous surgical interventions. Fast forward 7 years and I found out that I had not a recurrence but a new type of cancer. Mine is a chronic blood cancer (chronic lymphocytic B Cell Leukemia). I am lucky to have had my now husband with me through it all. Having solid support, I think, is key to positive outcomes. Had he not been there every day I don't think I would have fought so hard. Im glad that it was good news to end your year on. Keep your spirits up, both of you. Recovery is sometimes a bumpy road but you got this!
It was so hard listening what you were going through these months, but I'm really glad that once again you did it and are better now!! you don't deserve this but definitely there is a lot of learning and life is a balance so definitely you will have better days coming with the wedding and lots of amazing personal projects. Send you two a big hug as always and not just good but AMAZING SUPER BIG vibes and energy!!
Awesome to have that love by our sides when times are tough. So glad you guts are better in most ways. Enjoy life n stay positive. You are loved n cared for, take the gift of life n run with it.
Firstly Huge Congrats on your engagement! That’s certainly a very special time. The other aspect is how you’ve shared your cancer experience with us which I can fully connect with as a survivor of 2 different cancers. As you say the first time is a bombshell and perhaps the shocking news numbs you whilst the 2nd time round you have an idea of what’s ahead and that shocking news doesn’t numb you nearly as deeply as you’d like. My husband of 40 years has been through the treatment and recovery stages twice so far and we consider it “our journey” as the stress & trauma that partners / carers go through is often more of an emotional rollercoaster than the patient. Our last cancer journey started just after the Covid lockdown which in The UK meant he couldn’t come into The Cancer Clinic with me for my seasons but had to wait outside in the car - sometimes for several hours. The cancer won’t disappear this time but the treatments & injections are keeping it low / non- detectable & the Op has certain eased much of my discomfort but If it rears it’s nasty little head & gets stronger we’ll cope with it together just as you two are. Remember you’re both in it together - be kind and caring of each - you seem to have that balance already. Enjoy making your wedding plans! Obviously we couldn’t get married 40 years ago but when we finally could (& did) we didn’t think we could feel any more for each other but that piece of paper / making those vows changed our lives! Good luck with all the fun that goes with making those plans & enjoy that very special day!
Oh, Scotty and Mike. You guys have been through the "mill" so to speak. So sorry you had to go through that, but so happy that everything looks good now! And have a very Merry Christmas and may the new year be the best yet for you both.
I am sorry that you had to go through this hell once again, Scotty and Mike!! Thank you for updating us! I hope and pray that 2023 will be a better year.
That was a good title; and my reaction was instantaneous: "On, No!" Our individual battles are different...but we share at least one thing in common. After a good cry, the battle cry to continue rings loud and clear within us. Yes, Mike, it is PTSD; I have been a fighter and survivor of it for over 5 decades. Good news about the surgery results. Prayers to you both.
Wow. I’m so glad to hear that the biopsy results were good and that you can head into 2023 on the path of continued recovery. Mike spoke of resilience - the word seems almost inadequate to describe Scotty’s strength in the face of adversity. ❤️🩹 Best wishes to both of you and know that you are being held in love and support by all of us that have followed and been touched by your journey. ❤
This video brought me to tears. I am happy that things worked out well for you. I can only wish you the happiest holiday season possible and the best of the best in the coming year(s).
Thank you so much for sharing. Videos like this are so invaluable. You're going through something so overwhelming, but with a great core of courage and humour; and you have a beautiful relationship between you. Have a great Christmas and here's to better health and well being in 2023. Stephen (London) xx
Thanks for sharing your story . It was very interesting funny at times and scary as well . Glad you are cancer free . Wishing you both a healthy safe 2023 .
Wow, so sorry you guys had to go through this AGAIN. I am very impressed how strong and positive you were having to deal with another nightmare experience. Sending healing prayers for continued good health going forward. You guys say Mike is your Caretaker...I use the term Caregiver, which is so true how much he cares and loves his man. Happy New Year! So looking forward to your wedding! Just love you guys, loving each other.
Oh my lord watching this tears running..scotty words cannot explain how sorry to hear that you have had to go through this again and mike being there him wow, the love is pouring out of you just the best roll models..I do hope with the love you both have from family you have best Christmas and can look to the future..sending you the biggest hugs and kisses both of you 🤗😍
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you, but I feel glad that you got through this, Cancer is such a wild world that nobody wants to... I gotta said that you digital album 'fever' back in 2009 was and still IS part of the BSO of my life and I'm really thankful with u for that and for putting rainbow colors in so many chapters of my life, you are in my prayers 🙏🏻 I hope to hear more from your health soon :)
sending you sooo much love and support!! your attitude during this is amazing. you both are so stromg and wishing you best new year and many more to come.
What a wrenching and at the same time touching story! Bravo to you both for keeping a sense of perspective in such stressful times and finding a measure of strength in humor. Now...onward and upward.
Hope all is well, Big Boy! Happy Holidays. Keep us in touch as things progress. No baths...if you do a bath..then it must be running tap and a running drain plug...Walmart/Target or any warehouse should sell them. Showers are ok. You may need to use ajax daily on the floor...I often do...buy a sponge mop... Shoes must be new every 3 months etc. Clothing must be washed in your own washer and dryer in your house...and clothing should only be worn once and then discarded into the hamper to be washed.
The fact that sleeping all night with your legs in the air was new for you Scott, you and Mike have more work to do in your relationship! 😂😂 I know what it's like to have a major surgery like that, mine took 8 hours. I've been cancer free for a long time now, but there's always that fear of it returning. I couldn't be more proud of how you handled this issue this time around. I am so proud of you too Mike for your love and strength during these difficult moments. Hugs and kisses for the both of you. Love you both. Please stay healthy you two.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Ps... I better get a wedding video 😡😡🤬🤬😇😇
Sorry to hear you had to go through all that. But the final news sounds great. No cancer. I empathize on the surgery too. I had 11 major orthopedic surgeries by the time I was 19 and have 35 incisions to show for it. You get tired of hospitals really quick. Your guys' strength though is amazing. Merry Christmas.
Hi guys, I am so glad that you have posted your story because we are all responsible to help each other and you have certainly done that. I am a retired cancer nurse and my husband, tom, and I will celebrate 47 years together in March. If I can ever do anything at all for you,please let me know and it would be an honor to share my life experiences with you. Have a great holiday and stay happy, Ray Moderski.
Best of luck to you and your partner. You're in very rare company being together that long.
This wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card but…here’s why we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months.
We love you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday season! See you all in the new year. ❤
I admire you so freakin much! #Courage #CancerSucks
Love you so much and I am so glad you are okay! Stay happy and healthy, both of you!❤❤❤
God bless you with healing!Ryan and Ruben in NYC,NY USA
You're such a warrior, Scotty -- and you have the best fiancé in the world. We wish you the best! ❤️❤️❤️
If you can, search for Joe Tippens and panacur.
I’m sorry you had to go through that! After 6 years my cancer came back, but I’m alone this time. (End of 12 year relationship) I will tell you, you make it easier. Thanks for smiling. I hope to make it thru to other side.
You will Jamie. You have a lot of living yet to do. I wish you all the best.
Jamie, your not alone people like me will keep you in our prayers... Big hugs from Arkansas..
im here Jamie if you need or want support.
@@jm7804 Thank you ver much ❤️
@@randymorgan8375 Thank you, means a lot ❤️
I hope you are alright. I'm sitting here in tears. You guys don't need this.
Try and take of yourselves, and try to have a nice Christmas.
The epitome of “in sickness and in health “. God continue to heal and bless you both. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You know when you have a keeper. Hard not to cry. Sending you love always!
I hope, after this incident, your cancer will not reemerge!
I celebrated Halloween by having my left lung removed due to cancer. This year I will celebrate Christmas and New Year by having daily radiation therapy and weekly chemotherapy until the end of January.
My most positive wishes to you and Mike on your journey through life together. Scotty-I wish you a very healthy 2023.
So glad that everything is good. Enjoy the holidays and wish you all the best in 2023.
My heart sank when I read the title Scotty and Mike. As a cancer survivor/healthcare provider that has been following your journey, I understand what an emotional roller coaster you guys have been on. I am beyond happy your biopsy was negative, your attitudes so positive, and you both show tremendous strength and resilience under the worst of circumstances. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year!
Oh guys! The title scared me sooooo bad! Glad everything worked out and has a happy ending! Best wishes and much love... Peter
Love you both, Scotty, please take care. Mike, make sure you take good care of your self, Scotty needs you. Mike, give Scotty's cookies extra good loving, they've been though a lot. Sending lots of healing love.
That video was so raw and emotional. I can't believe how much you have had to endure as a person and a couple. For whatever it's worth i am sending positive energy your way!!
Thanks Chris! We really appreciate it! ❤️
The two of you are an inspiration for all of us. The love, patience, warmth, and respect you both have for each other is illustrative of the normality of gay couples in this world.
You both deserve an amazing 2023 and you’ll have it when you make it out to Vancouver look me up how long to take you guys For helicopter flight in our coastal mountains on me.
You're both amazing men. I hope that you continue to love each other and stay healthy. You've done the "in sickness" part now enjoy the "in health" part of your lives.
What a harrowing story! I'm so relived the nodes were not cancerous. All the best to you two in the new year. Let 2023 be a year of renewal and happiness for you both. I was truly moved by your very honest telling.
When I first saw video name, I literally said-not again. Mike is an Earth Angel. How lucky Scott is to have someone so devoted and understanding. Scott has been thru a lot but Mike suffered, too.
Scott is a trouper. He hasn't given up and remains positive.
As a testicular cancer survivor (4 years NED and hopefully counting)... I get what you're going through (I had the SAME surgery BUT in my case the cancer was live (chemo didn't do the full job) and they couldn't resect the lymph nodes)) and I was sewn up (with no positive outlook) and sent back for another full round of chemo which FINALLY took and led to my no evidence of disease (NED) that I've been able to keep since then. I know exactly what you and your fiancee are feeling. Best wishes and warm healing winds to you both that it will move into your rear window for good. Happy holidays!
Omg you poor babies! That sounded horrible, please don't let this happen again ! I don't think I could go through this again! Hope to see your wedding when it happens! We all deserve it.
Hey, watch you guys from time to time and was this ever a moment that a higher power reached out to deliver a message I needed to hear; I’d been kinda retreating from responsibilities lately: feeling overwhelmed ( both parents sick, condo flooded from upstairs neighbors, feeling shitty for a week or so. Anyway, today I thought, fuck xmass, I’m to tired to put up a tree and I’m listening to the traumatic shit you’ve both been going through with a fully decorated tree behind you! Your my heroes! It’s strange how the world speaks to you if you listen. God bless you both, have a safe and happy year and please keep us posted. Love from ken and bob, Clearwater, fl.
No pressure to be in the holiday spirit Ken. You don't need to put a tree up if you don't feel like it.
I just lost my best friend to stage 4 metastatic melanoma. He was only 35 years old.
I am so sorry that you guys had to go through this Scotty and Mike!!! The two of you are amazing together and it is obvious that it was meant to be that you found each other. I am so happy for you and the news that the cancer has not returned. Thank you for updating us! Love you guys!!

In 9/9/99 they removed my prostate. 21 years later the cancer returned. They are now treating it with a hormone shot every 6 months @ the local VA hospital. Then in August 2013 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma & went through 6 months of chemo @ the VA. My PSA is 0.01 which means the prostate cancer is under control. The lymphoma has been in remission since February 14, 2014 so fingers crossed there. The VA keeps a close eye on my labs & take good care of me. Prayers for you guys. Thanks for the video.
I am so sorry for what you have been through Scotty, but glad for the results! I am glad you had the best caregiver in Mike! Look forward to your wedding. Take care, stay safe. Merry Christmas from Mississauga 🎄
First time watching your channel. Mike, the PTSD is so real. As a Caregiver myself to a multiple surgery cancer patient I can tell you I know your pain. My partner is an amazing tower of strength and often I feel so pathetic. This is a tough journey you’re on. She has 2 ctscans on Monday so the “Scanxiety “ has kicked in. Waiting for results is dreadful.
Aren’t you just so grateful you’re in Canada and treatment cost isn’t an issue?
Best of everything for the new year for you both! Fingers crossed ‘23 is healthy and happy for you both.
You both deserve a super bingo win this year, if there is a thing. Can't wait for all of the wedding updates.
That video made me cry I’m so so happy that you are okay. I have a connection with you because of my son he was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 16 and now he is 31 and still cancer free. I am so happy that you are okay ❤
So happy to know you are both gifted with great news before the end of this year. Onwards Scotty and Mike ❤️ 💙 💜
You've been through a lot, sending you lots of love. The love between the two of you is beyond imaginable.
You are in my prayers . Please know you have a lot of people in your corner.
You guys are unbelievable! Wow! Scotty, you're a rock star. Mike, God bless you. Thank you being such a great guy, and for loving Scotty so much. Rest, relax, recover, then go have the wedding of your dreams and live happily ever after. You've earned the right to do nothing but live your best lives from now on. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎄 HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Only the best in 2023. Much love... many prayers 💕🛐 from central Ct., U.S.A. Ron and Pat

OMG. I am so happy for you Scotty that you are going to be okay! I'm crying with joy for you! Godspeed!
Scotty & Mike: I'm glad to have run across your site. I'm so sorry that you have had to go through cancer twice now. I have a dear friend I met back decades ago in college who had breast cancer diagnosed in 2021 and went through a long round of chemo, only in April of this year to find the breast cancer and metastasized to her pancreas, for which she's still undergoing chemo. She has a truly wonderful, supportive husband, which I can tell you have with Mike. It takes a lot of determination and energy to fight this horrendous disease. I wish for you both a wonderful holiday season, and that 2023 in the years to come will hold only good health news for you. And Mike, you are truly an angel of strength and love for Scotty. Stay brave, stay strong. And have a wonderful wedding!
Oh my gosh Scotty and Mike! I am so sorry you had to go through this for a second time! I am a breast cancer survivor (9 years since diagnosis and going strong🙌🏽)! Cancer f’ing sucks! I think your 1st round was “easier” because you didn’t know what to expect. You just trusted the professionals (out of necessity) to do right by you. I know for me it felt like (and I was) I was literally putting my life into the hands of complete strangers. Second time around you had experience and were like oh hell no, I don’t want to do this again! You basically knew to much! Anyway, all that to say, I happy everything turned out well! I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2023! Cheers to your strength and the love you share! Take care! Much love and big hugs!
I'm amazed by the strength and courage you both have. Scotty you are an amazing person and I cannot imagine what you've been through. I'm just glad you have your amazing partner Mike to love and support you. I hope that 2023 is the best year of your lives. Much love ❤️
I can't believe you two are so POSITIVE after all you've been through! It's a real lesson to the rest of us. I'm happy you found each other! Have a fantastic 2023!
Thank you! Right back at ya ❤️
I nearly passed this by thinking. Oh, I've heard his cancer story before. It cannot be a new instance. Regrettably, it was. I am so sorry you've both had this horror reenter your lives just as you had every reason to be looking toward your future. Thrilling to know medicine has given you back your life. Marching forward with good health and happiness together.
I tried really hard not to get emotional, but am so happy that you are doing so well. Thanks for the update, and Merry Christmas and happy New Year to both of you.
Glad to hear the news despite the ordeal. Be strong and stay happy
Sending you two nothing but positive vibes and well wishes! Glad to know you two have each other, and you’ve got plenty of love from all your friends and families.
We haven't been following your channel very regularly like a lot of people here, but we have seen maybe a handful of vlogs and knew about the previous cancer, and we e are so incredibly sorry to hear that you have to fight this battle again. The unknown is always nerve-racking, but having each other's support will make such a difference in getting through it all. You're strong, your healthy, you're resilient, and the odds are that you'll beat it again. Just for a little reassurance, my mother-in-law beat two bouts of breast cancer and one bout of stomach cancer (!) during a 10-year period but has been totally cancer-free for more than 10 years now. Lots of people are multiple cancer survivors, and you're going to be one of them! Sending healing prayers to you both.
So strong and resilient!! Thank you for sharing your story and giving a face to cancer! Thankful you are successfully recovering and that you have each other to lean on.
Both of you are amazing and I am praying for your complete recovery !!❤
we love you Scotty and Mike ❤️
Love you too! ❤️
I'm so sorry that you boys had to go through this again. Glad that the ultimate news was positive. Through all of this, be thankful that you have each other. You're a great couple and although we haven't met, and probably never will, I believe that you create an environment online that is welcoming and warm like talking with friends. All the best for your future. Congratulations on your engagement!
Oh my God… the hell you too have been through… So glad to hear that it hasn’t come back… and hopefully you can now comfortably focus the good things your future holds…!!!
You are both deeply loved by your families and fans, and your love for each other has carried you through this ordeal. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤️❤️
Gosh! What a gut-wrenching experience. I'm so glad that this time around there was no sign of cancer coming back. I wish you all the best. You both are great and deserve the best luck in the world.
Much love from an old guy from Buenos Aires City, Argentina...way, way south.
Okay, getting past the fact that you both are such cutie pies, this touched me so much and I'm so happy that you are in the clear and may you both have long happy healthy lives. I'm an old fart, I'll be 68 this summer. I had polio as a kid and many health problems but then for about 30 years I reinvented myself and worked out and was very healthy until I hit my late 40s, and post polio syndrome kicked in among other things and I have been sick off and on, mostly on, for the past 20 years. Many surgeries, much much chronic pain, and depression. I have to admit that there are times I feel sorry for myself, but I will also admit that after watching your story I gave myself an attitude adjustment. I've lived much longer than you guys and I've had a lot of good years in there, so I can't complain. What you had to go through at such a young age is unbelievable and I hate to admit that you are both way more mature than I am lol. I'm kind of rambling because I'm tired, but I just want to say happy healthy long lives to both of you, you seem like very sweet kind people and your love for each other is very touching. Never lose that. Signed, old guy. XX
Sending both of you much love and big hugs! Take it easy now. Enjoy the holiday and stay positive about 2023!
I’m so glad your getting better. I really feel for you both. My husband was on and off in the hospital for different reasons for a year. At home his scrotom would get huge at least 3 times through the entire 1 to two months. As his husband I could only feel such pain watching him like that. The doctors would say it’s just edema and it will go away. But would happen again, so bad the doctor had to devise a sling to hold them. As his husband you can feel the same thing, the pain, the uncomfortable feeling there going through. Any way, I just want to praise loving caregiver’s that are are there for thier spouses or spouses, they go through a lot of pain and discomfort and worry, and it’s so hard to see your loved one in a helpless situation. My love goes out to you Scotty, but a special love goes to Mike for being a good partner and caregiver. Good luck to you both
So sorry you had to go through such and long and painful surgery...you are so strong ❤
Hi, Scotty and Mike ! I happened across your channel by chance. But, I know your journey. My husband and I were long term survivors of HIV/AIDS (from 1980’s) when Gary contracted non-treatable HepC. He lived almost 12 years with a 6 month life expectancy. Mike … I know what you are going through! And, Scotty … Bless you ! My love grew deeper and deeper for my 30+ year partner and 12 week husband (when marriage equality FINALLY became the law of the land !). Thank you for your story, and God-speed !
I’m sorry for your latest challenge…and joyous for the final answers
. Your love and support for each other is a guide for your followers. Wishing you a better holiday season and the best next year ever. ❤
Sorry that you both have to go through this but it's a relief to hear that the cancer haven't returned. Things will get better for you both with a brighter future ahead. Wishing all the best.
So sorry that you guys had to go down that emotional rollercoaster. Extremely glad that the news was great in the end. Always know we love you both so much and you guys are always in our prayers. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season and we will be here with you in January.
Guys, I am so very, very sorry you are going thru all this. Thank goodness you have each other and love of friends, family and your video friends. Take care of each other, continue the love and positive thoughts that you spread and my best regards!!
In my gut, I knew something was wrong by your absence lately. This brought tears hearing it. It's SO unfair, but I'm so glad despite what you've been through, that you're in a good place.
At least this time it won't encroach on your Christmas too. And as you both say, next year, you have so much to look forward to. Onwards and upwards! I'm sending positive vibes and love your way. Mike I hope you have some support to help with recovering from what you've been through as well. Love and best wishes to you both. I look forward to seeing the fun side of your lives as you build up to you wedding.. Merry Christmas from Australia..
I'm glad you are doing well and that you have each other. Wishing you are relaxing and joyous Christmas!
I hate hearing that you had to endure all of that unpleasant experience. Im happy to hear that you’re recovered and received positive results, though! Best wishes to you both for a much better 2023! Thank you for sharing your story - you guys are so positive and uplifting, even when life isn’t going well.
I know you two are not believers, I am still praying for strength and comfort for both of you!
I'm so glad you ended the year on a good note. So happy for you and wishing you both all the best.
OMG! I am so glad that this surgery was a success. I am praying for you! Sending love and light! ❤️🙏❤️🌈
Was so sorry to see the title of this video and see the image. Glad that it was only residuals from before! Best wishes on being in remission and your upcoming nuptials!!!
Dear Scotty & Mike: Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you have to go through this together. You’re both so young and this is so unfair. You’re right! But I so admire you for your apparent strength and consideration for each other. You are both such role models for all of us. I wish you an amazing recovery and that you’ll soon be back into ordinary life which is so blessed. All my best to you. ❤️ Carl McLuhan
Guys, I don't what to say to you except you have one more supporter. I'm genuinely sorry you're having to go through this crap. I just had major surgery too - not cancer, but to the base of my skull; axe attack, disabled, long story... You both sound strong, and that's a lot. Love to you both, xxxx
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I had cancer in 2012 and spent almost the entire year in the hospital receiving aggressive treatment and had numerous surgical interventions. Fast forward 7 years and I found out that I had not a recurrence but a new type of cancer. Mine is a chronic blood cancer (chronic lymphocytic B Cell Leukemia). I am lucky to have had my now husband with me through it all. Having solid support, I think, is key to positive outcomes. Had he not been there every day I don't think I would have fought so hard. Im glad that it was good news to end your year on. Keep your spirits up, both of you. Recovery is sometimes a bumpy road but you got this!
It was so hard listening what you were going through these months, but I'm really glad that once again you did it and are better now!! you don't deserve this but definitely there is a lot of learning and life is a balance so definitely you will have better days coming with the wedding and lots of amazing personal projects. Send you two a big hug as always and not just good but AMAZING SUPER BIG vibes and energy!!
I am crying. You guys are an inspiration.
Awesome to have that love by our sides when times are tough. So glad you guts are better in most ways. Enjoy life n stay positive. You are loved n cared for, take the gift of life n run with it.
Firstly Huge Congrats on your engagement! That’s certainly a very special time. The other aspect is how you’ve shared your cancer experience with us which I can fully connect with as a survivor of 2 different cancers. As you say the first time is a bombshell and perhaps the shocking news numbs you whilst the 2nd time round you have an idea of what’s ahead and that shocking news doesn’t numb you nearly as deeply as you’d like. My husband of 40 years has been through the treatment and recovery stages twice so far and we consider it “our journey” as the stress & trauma that partners / carers go through is often more of an emotional rollercoaster than the patient. Our last cancer journey started just after the Covid lockdown which in The UK meant he couldn’t come into The Cancer Clinic with me for my seasons but had to wait outside in the car - sometimes for several hours. The cancer won’t disappear this time but the treatments & injections are keeping it low / non- detectable & the Op has certain eased much of my discomfort but If it rears it’s nasty little head & gets stronger we’ll cope with it together just as you two are. Remember you’re both in it together - be kind and caring of each - you seem to have that balance already. Enjoy making your wedding plans! Obviously we couldn’t get married 40 years ago but when we finally could (& did) we didn’t think we could feel any more for each other but that piece of paper / making those vows changed our lives! Good luck with all the fun that goes with making those plans & enjoy that very special day!
Not every couple survives things like this. You two seem so strong together ❤.
It sucks that you both had to go through that again. Your strength is inspiring.
My prayers go with you. Be brave! Be confident! Be strong!
Oh, Scotty and Mike. You guys have been through the "mill" so to speak. So sorry you had to go through that, but so happy that everything looks good now! And have a very Merry Christmas and may the new year be the best yet for you both.
I am sorry that you had to go through this hell once again, Scotty and Mike!! Thank you for updating us! I hope and pray that 2023 will be a better year.
That was a good title; and my reaction was instantaneous: "On, No!" Our individual battles are different...but we share at least one thing in common. After a good cry, the battle cry to continue rings loud and clear within us. Yes, Mike, it is PTSD; I have been a fighter and survivor of it for over 5 decades. Good news about the surgery results. Prayers to you both.
Wow. I’m so glad to hear that the biopsy results were good and that you can head into 2023 on the path of continued recovery. Mike spoke of resilience - the word seems almost inadequate to describe Scotty’s strength in the face of adversity. ❤️🩹 Best wishes to both of you and know that you are being held in love and support by all of us that have followed and been touched by your journey. ❤
Get well soon and the very best to both of you in 2023!❤
This video brought me to tears. I am happy that things worked out well for you. I can only wish you the happiest holiday season possible and the best of the best in the coming year(s).
Really sorry to hear everything you have been through. Merry Christmas from Wales.
Thank you so much for sharing. Videos like this are so invaluable. You're going through something so overwhelming, but with a great core of courage and humour; and you have a beautiful relationship between you. Have a great Christmas and here's to better health and well being in 2023. Stephen (London) xx
Thanks for sharing your story . It was very interesting funny at times and scary as well . Glad you are cancer free . Wishing you both a healthy safe 2023 .
Sending you both love and prayers.
Damn! So sad to learn this, you both handsome pass the greatest time you deserve. A lot of love from Quebec.
Best wishes on your recovery and good health.
Wow, so sorry you guys had to go through this AGAIN. I am very impressed how strong and positive you were having to deal with another nightmare experience. Sending healing prayers for continued good health going forward. You guys say Mike is your Caretaker...I use the term Caregiver, which is so true how much he cares and loves his man. Happy New Year! So looking forward to your wedding! Just love you guys, loving each other.
Oh my lord watching this tears running..scotty words cannot explain how sorry to hear that you have had to go through this again and mike being there him wow, the love is pouring out of you just the best roll models..I do hope with the love you both have from family you have best Christmas and can look to the future..sending you the biggest hugs and kisses both of you 🤗😍
I am so glad you’re okay, Scotty🙏🏽 Sending love to you both!❤
So happy to hear. May the Holidays be grand. Trees🎄
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you, but I feel glad that you got through this, Cancer is such a wild world that nobody wants to... I gotta said that you digital album 'fever' back in 2009 was and still IS part of the BSO of my life and I'm really thankful with u for that and for putting rainbow colors in so many chapters of my life, you are in my prayers 🙏🏻 I hope to hear more from your health soon :)
sending you sooo much love and support!! your attitude during this is amazing. you both are so stromg and wishing you best new year and many more to come.
What a wrenching and at the same time touching story!
Bravo to you both for keeping a sense of perspective in such stressful times and finding a measure of strength in humor.
Now...onward and upward.
Hope all is well, Big Boy! Happy Holidays. Keep us in touch as things progress. No baths...if you do a bath..then it must be running tap and a running drain plug...Walmart/Target or any warehouse should sell them. Showers are ok. You may need to use ajax daily on the floor...I often do...buy a sponge mop... Shoes must be new every 3 months etc. Clothing must be washed in your own washer and dryer in your house...and clothing should only be worn once and then discarded into the hamper to be washed.
I’m glad you’re doing better now. Have a good rest of the holiday season. ❤
Oh my, what a journey you have been on!! I wish you both lots of love and luck and cheers to a better 2023!!!
Thank you!!
The fact that sleeping all night with your legs in the air was new for you Scott, you and Mike have more work to do in your relationship! 😂😂 I know what it's like to have a major surgery like that, mine took 8 hours. I've been cancer free for a long time now, but there's always that fear of it returning. I couldn't be more proud of how you handled this issue this time around. I am so proud of you too Mike for your love and strength during these difficult moments. Hugs and kisses for the both of you. Love you both. Please stay healthy you two.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Ps... I better get a wedding video 😡😡🤬🤬😇😇
What a journey! I am very happy for you that the news were positive at the end. Take good care of yourselves.
I love you guys! I'am so happy that the cancer has not returned! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear you had to go through all that. But the final news sounds great. No cancer. I empathize on the surgery too. I had 11 major orthopedic surgeries by the time I was 19 and have 35 incisions to show for it. You get tired of hospitals really quick. Your guys' strength though is amazing. Merry Christmas.
Damn, the whole thing sounds like hell. So happy for you both. Stay healthy and enjoy your new life.
