This is so very true (and something that I continually tell myself during the hard moments). So much research can happen and I am optimistic about the future. Who knows what will happen but I am determined to keep pushing forward. Thank you for all the love and support
Oh Steph, I just can’t imagine what went through your mind when those words were spoken. You are strong and so many advances being made in medicine. You know you have so many supporters and people who love you and will be there for you. I have never met you but I feel like I know you. Sending prayers and lots of positivity your way. One day at a time. ❤
I came here to say the very same thing. Also, reach out to teaching hospitals and find the very best in this field of medicine. Never take only one MD's advice, one should get at least a second opinion and even a third if they do not coincide. Be very proactive about your own care, be your very best advocate!!! Sending you love and healing vibes.
My heart is breaking for you!! Is there anything we as your supportive fans can do? Can we donate our bone marrow? We don’t know each other in person but I have been following your journey and I am praying for you!!! Just know you are loved more than you know by people you haven’t even met. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜💜
Yes! I have a family member who is doing pharmaceutical research- one of those things he is working on is cancer research- I promise you there are all types of new things coming down the line. God bless you and prayers for your health
My dear Steph, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with the exact same cancer at age 57. Although she still has it, and takes a chemo pill and blood thinners every day, she is now age 84. The most important thing is that she has changed her eating lifestyle 22:09 and does some sort of physical activity every day. She’s a fighter. You got this and you can live well into your 80s! Also, she has frequent blood tests and doctor visits. She’s managed extremely well. Praying for you my dear.
Stef, Please don’t listen to those cruel, hateful people. Those are the people that can’t stand to see people be happy and successful. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. You don’t know me, but your videos bring happy tears for me.
Shame on those haters. I watched Sean’s story as you both shared this very private life changing part of your lives. I cannot believe anyone would say Sean’s situation was your fault. I saw your love and your concern for him. I am so sorry to hear that you now have cancer. 15-20 years may not sound like a long time, but in that time they find find a new treatment that will stop this cancer. I HATE CANCER. In 1980 when I was just 16 (and my sister 17) we lost our mom to brain cancer after she put up a valiant fight for 3 years, she was 37. You are a very positive person and you will need that to battle this. I will be praying for you and I hope that you ask God to help you through this. We are here for you. We wish you well and are so thrilled to here about your new job with Disney. HOW EXCITING.
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately there are some very angry people in the world. I say a prayer for those people because their life must be pretty sad to attack someone else. I will continue to be positive and optimistic about the future. Thanks so much for all the love and support
Stef, my wife and I remember when Sean went to the ER for chest pains and came home with the DX, when y’all worked together to enjoy each other while fighting for his life, when you cleaned the hot tub for him so he could enjoy it, and yes the final days. No where in those times we’re you anything less than an incredible wife and partner for him. As you talked about what your mil said, I told my wife that’s what I have been telling you, you do so much so that I can do my job. Stef, our prayers are with you, now and forever… TeamHutchens and always have part of the Sean and Stef Army, go git ‘em Hurricane Stef!!!
Life is messy. It has ups and downs. The downs really help me appreciate the ups even more. I am optimistic about the future and I will continue to push forward with each day the best that I can. Thank you for all the love and support
For some reason I received your Icon video before this one. Strange so when you mentioned chemo in one of your comments I think my heart stopped for a moment. I could not believe it. Now I watch this video and I truly shed some tears. You have lived through hell with Sean. When he passed I was so sorry and was glad so many friends and family stood by you.The hateful posts were daggers to your heart. But we love you and your strength. You endured such a loss and we saw the despair in your eyes. My husband passed away 3 months ago. He was not a young man but it was the worst 10 days of my life watching him expire. You my dear were Sean's strength to the end. I do hope you have friends and family to support you. Since you are young I hope your doctors can direct you to the newest treatments available. So glad you have your dream job. I will pray for you to stay strong and fight just like you fought for Sean. I believe each day is a gift. I also believe Sean is watching over you. He's your guardian angel. I remember watching you and Sean squeeze every ounce of joy you could every single day. Please know we are praying your treatments are successful. God Bless.❤
I’m so sorry people are so cruel Stef! You know you were always there for Sean! Yall were meant for eachother and loved eachother so much! I started following yall because of how amazing yall were together! I can still hear Sean say “Ship Tour Day” and you laughing and smiling!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us and I’ll continue to pray for you and the kitties!!! 🐈⬛ ❤
Thank you for the kind words. I do the same thing with “Ship Tour Day”. Love how Sean use to say that. People are cruel and I say lots of prayers for those people. I can’t imagine how terrible their life must be to attack others. I am optimistic that things will be ok with me. Thanks for all the love and support
You have come soooo far since Sean's passing. I am so proud of you. I'm glad you are able to smile and have a zest for life again. Depression sucks, mean people suck even more. I'm happy you are navigating everything with such a positive energy. Best of everything and many prayers to you Stef.
My dad was given a 4 year life expectancy when he was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma - one of the rarest cancers at his time of diagnosis. He lived for 13 years. His was a type that would never go into remission - but it would go to 'sleep' for a while. Whenever it came back, it just happened there was a new therapy and that kept happening. It gave him almost 10 more years that what "they" gave him. So all of this to say, I am glad you reject their "time stamp". New treatments are discovered every day for every type of cancer, and with the right mindset (that you already have) - you will conquer this!!
So much research on your condition will evolve over the next 10 years....I've had cancer twice....and life became richer for me after that....Every day is a precious girft!....God Bless you!🙏💗
First Happy New Year! Secondly I am saddened to hear about your cancer diagnosis and wishing you the best outcome. Thirdly no apologies are ever needed. No expectations and any posts are nice to see whenever you find time to post them. Highest priority now is to take care of your health and your life. So, enjoy your new position with Disney and the Icon! Be happy, well and at peace.💕
Don’t give up. I don’t know you or Sean personally, but I feel like he would want you to continue leading your best life. Be kind to yourself. I’m sending you healing and love to heal both your body and your heart.
I am a Ben & David fan and that’s how I started watching your vlogs. You being gone concerned me. When I started watching your content I watched all of them I believe. Stef you so tough and resilient I don’t think you know how your positivity inspires people. Or how many you’ve already helped and probably will never will know how many. Just keep being you, you are one gutsy lady. Sean knew that, got to believe he’s telling you “you go girl, I know how strong you are.” From all these positive posts here,you know all of us got your back. Don’t stress the small stuff. We are all looking forward to your next cruise even if you can’t get all the videos done as timely as you think you should have. We’ll still be here😊.
Hello Stef. I'm Joan my husband is Chris. We're from Williamstown, NJ. Just wanted to let you know that while we're not religious phanatics, we are praying for you every day. We want you to live a long and happy life. We cried with you when Sean passed. We love you and feel like family because of your amazing videos. Hang in and don't let the mean obnoxious people get to you. They're not worth your worry. We love you Stef
How on earth could anyone say you deserve this!!! My heart dropped, because I had a feeling you would say you had cancer. My prayers and thoughts are always with you. I have followed you and Sean for years. He would be proud of you and want you to fight!!
Sweet Stef, please don't let them get you down you have enough on your plate. ❤ We all wish you health and happiness you deserve it. Have a beautiful life.
Hi Stef, I found your channel from Ben and David. I'm Praying for your healing. My mom passed from AML at 61. GOD has you and you are a Survivor, and will get through this. All Love and healing. New Subscriber from Huntsville, Alabama
Hello, My name is Michaela and live in Ontario, Canada. I have been following your story and have been so touched by it. I too have been battling cancer with a small "c" for 10 years and wanted to send you a word of encouragement. There is every reason for hope and optimism. There are so many new and cancer treatments just on the horizon and you have been given sufficient time to make it to when these new treatments are available. In the mean time, stay strong and take the best care you can of yourself!
Those who make cruel comments are just unhappy with themselves and their place in life. Prayers to you. Miracles happen everyday and the scientists make leaps and bounds EVERY DAY. 15-20 years can be a life changing amount of time for them to come up with help and cures, god willing!
Stay strong Stef and continue to live life to the full. Science, medication and treatments will continue to develop and we are sure you will take this head on and fight. Linzi and Mark
Steph: I'm one of the few who actually knows your pain. Cancer took my wife 7 1/2 years ago at the ripe old age of 49. She was a DII college volleyball player, non-smoker in excellent physical condition, who was diagnosed with lung cancer. We only went in to see a doctor after she was notably out of breath several times during a cruise. I am sitting in the home right now where she took her last breath. We had five children together, and at the time of her death the three youngest were 14, 12 and 10. So I've been through some incredibly trying times over the course of 7+ years. I still have cries (like you do) at certain songs, shows, smells, holidays, memories, etc. These can happen at any time, anywhere. Although less intense, and less often, but no less painful. I have NOT been recently diagnosed with cancer, so for that I am truly, truly sorry and wish you all the best in your treatment and recovery. I am never one to say you WILL beat this, because we all know that we're not in control. But to say you CAN beat this is both a positive message and an honest one. I don't "pray" for people because that is nothing but mental masturbation....it makes the person praying feel better but it does absolutely nothing for the person you are praying for. Anyway, wishing the best for you and that your outcome far exceeds that of a doctor throwing out some random number. Treatment advances occur almost daily. Put that in your hope chest. One pair of hands doing research is worth more than a million pairs of hands clasped in prayer!
My father developed the same cancer when he was 65. This was 30 years ago. He was told to prevent stroke he must have his blood drawn every month to keep it thinned out. He was told if he did not do so the blood would thicken and not be able to get through tiny capillaries in the brain and a stroke would happen. He was told he could live 20 more years. After a few months he decided he was sick of being poked and he refused all treatment. The condition turned into a fast moving leukemia and he was gone quickly. Wish he would have stuck around but I suspect there may have been some depression going on. I do not want to be negative. Getting the blood draws to keep you from having strokes will buy you time while research continues for better options. Please do not be depressed. You can have lots of happy days in the years to come. Focus on that and hopefully while you are living science will come up with more options.
I found you through Ben & David’s channel. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, with a beautiful soul to match. IGNORE those bad people girl! You got this. Stay positive and keep smiling, it’s infectious! Sending you lots of love and prayers.
Keep in mind, that advancements will not be the same in 5, 10, 15 years. Two time breast cancer survivor here; GIRL you are FIERCE. Peace and Love to you.
You’re an amazing woman! Over the years I’ve shed many tears with you. Your diagnosis is shocking but you’re a fighter, survivor, with a great attitude. Advances in medicine are happening every day and I’m confident there are many great experiences and adventures ahead for you. Lois❤️
Oh Stef, I hope those who said those things in year one have been blocked, banned, deleted etc. Sad to say they did make you stronger. Keep those deep breaths. Bone marrow biopsy are PAINFUL. Sending continued blessings for medical care, it is OK to cry. They found it sooner for you than normal. That's ok because they are able to detect sooner and that means there is a LOT of research sooner than later. Not that you can compare cancer to others but I do understand with my husbands auto immune disease how scary and the emotional ups and downs. He "only" has to have blood draws once a month. Again, NO comparison to cancer but acknowledging somewhat of what you are dealing with. Keep Breathing! Hold your friends and family close because the good ones will answer and listen in a heartbeat. They may have no words for you but just them listening, well you know how much that matters.
Definitely blocked and kicked to the curb. No time for that negativity in my life. Woah, that bone marrow biopsy was no joke. All I could imagine was the seven dwarfs and their pick axe mining away, lol. And you are right, early detection is a great thing. I am optimistic about the future. I have a great support system at Disney and for that I am very fortunate. Add that with friends around the world, I always feel like I am wrapped in a hug. Thank you for the kind words and all the love and support
Stef, you so special, don’t pay attention to mean people. I’m a retired widow, my husband died two years ago. Even thought I can be your grandmother, I’m in your shoe. You give me strength and peace. God have a purpose with your life, you will be cure and I’m praying for you. Love to keep in touch and talk more with you, can you send me your email? I’m a cruiser, love to hear your advise on solo cruiser. I live in a small town in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 . Please keep up your good work. No matter what, you’re a big bright star for me. Lots of love 🙏❤️.
So glad about the good! Devastated about your health news 😥. I’m so glad you are fighting it! You are in my prayers! You will beat this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️to you! ~ Inge 🤩
You are so courageous and wonderful. I can't believe the nerves of some people. They are wasted energy, so don't give them the time of day, not a second! Are you seeing a counselor again? Please consider doing that again because that has been so helpful in dealing with my own health issues. Let the guilt go and enjoy the moment. Every moment and every breath is worth it!
I’m so sorry for what cruel ugly people have said. Holding you in prayer . I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Living each day with purpose is wonderful.
I came across your channel via La Lido Loca. I have so much respect and admiration for you Stef. I relate so well to everything you said in this vid as well as you previous grief one. In 2021, I lost my sister, my husband 6 months later, then diagnosed with breast cancer 1 month after his death. I still feel emotionally broken sometimes, but its par for the course. Feelings are fleeting, but should always be acknowledged so you can get through the circustances. Everyone has different faith levels if any at all, but GOD has been good to me; I was healed in Jesus name and am currently cancer free. I take a chemo pill once a day, but it could be so much worse. THANK YOU for your transparency, you are helping people with your story more than you know❣️
I am a relatively new subscriber after finding your channel while searching for information about the NCL Sprit Hawaii/Alaska cruise itinerary. I enjoyed that content so much that I went back and viewed many of your past videos and discovered all the beautiful and sad things you have shared about your life. I think you have shown such strength and resilience and I know these traits will serve you well as you rise to this new challenge. You have a beautiful spirit. Please don't let the need to keep putting out content dim your spirit. We are not worth that. You have your hands full dealing with grief, a new cancer diagnosis, and a new job. Take care of you. We will be here whenever you are able to share with us.
If folks are mean...delete! No reason to be hateful, yes you are sharing, but we are the ones that are taking time to view. That does not give us the right to be hateful to you. Praying for you and your health! I am so glad that you have a lot of positive events from 2023, this too will pass. 15 - 20 years, will not stop you. At the end of the day, you need to take care of yourself and by getting treatments and staying positive, you will be fine. I totally believe that Cancer cannot beat your good attitude. Bless you, we love you and enjoy hearing what is happening.
Stephanie here at the blind cruisers we are sending you hugs and prayers and thoughts to you. You will make it through this battle with the little C. You and Shawn have always done an amazing job and I’ve inspired my wife and I to start our own, UA-cam channel about us, cruising while being blind. Hopefully you received the cross that my wife made for you. Our friend Jennifer gave it to Ben and David to give to you when you guys were all on the inaugural sailing of the wonder of the seas. That was from us. Keep up the amazing work.
I'm so sorry for you to have to go through this. My mom has something similar with her bone marrow and she's taken a cancer drug called Hydroxyurea which caused the bone marrow to function differently giving her a good quality of life with minimal symptoms. She was diagnosed in her late 40s and she's been on this medicine for over 30 YEARS!!! Medicine continues to advance so I believe your prognosis now isn't necessarily your prognosis in the future. Good Luck to You!
First, congrats on the new Disney position. Also working with Where’s Walter Travel, that’s exciting ! You are one of the strongest, resilient young ladies I’ve seen on UA-cam. You have so much positivity within you and around you. You will conquer the “c”, because you are a fighter and survivor of life’s challenges. Always remember you have sooo many people that love and support you. Prayers and hugs to you ❤❤.
It has been a while since I have checked in with you. I thought about you the other day, and am so glad I found this. 🙂 Loved getting caught up. It is amazing how hurtful people can be, and as a content creator myself, I have been on the receiving end of some pretty mean, vile comments. I must be naive, because I did not think people could be so bad. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your cancer journey. I am so sorry for your health struggles. I will be checking back more often now for when you share updates. 🥰
the only thing i can tell you is, there will always be haters and just realize they are bitter hateful people who don't enjoy life and want everyone around them to be miserable. DON'T TAKE THEIR COMMENTS SERIOUS!!!! the other advice is nobody knows what their life will bring you will have those highs and lows that is a given, just LIVE YOUR LIFE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, CONTENT AND WHOLE EACH DAY!! nobody knows how long they have to live so no matter what you get diagnosed with or what this world will bring do your best, love what you do and take each day as they come. you are living the dream life that someone somewhere is wishing they could live. You are an amazing person with a HUGE heart and it shines thru, we all see it!
I just came across this video. I went through your loss with your handsome husband, Sean. We are with you, let us help you in anyway that is possible. You will be in my prayers.
Sending you so much love Stef 💕 You are an incredibly strong woman and I know all your subscribers and those who ‘drop in’ on your channel will be praying for the very best outcome for you xx
I am praying for you. I got my diagnosis in January of this year and as much as I thought I was ready after all the testing it was still a gut punch, however I won’t give up and I know you will not as well. We are fighters and I can’t wait for you to get back to vlogging because I always enjoy those from you. We got this!!!!
Oh, my gosh. Cannot imagine ever saying anything so hurtful. It is so good to see you further down the road in your grief. You are so strong, Stef. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for beating the little "c".
My wife and I have you in our prayers! You are very strong, and there are many of us who are behind you! Take our strength and use it. Delete the bad actors. There is a special place for them. You are a special person and you will inspire all of us!
Oh Stef ❤ , girl you got this! You’re so strong and you will overcome this. Sean is leading you every step of the way. Sending vibes of love, laughter and serenity your way ❤ Can’t wait to see the footage of our VV cruise.🎉 Hope to see you again on a cruise or trip again soon! Love being your travel buddy both in person and virtually.
Thank you for all the kind words. Sean is definitely right beside me. I am optimistic that things will be ok. Can’t wait to get the VV vids out and can’t wait to sail on Icon in a couple weeks. Thanks for being the best travel buddy ever!
We found your channel only 2 years ago. My wife and I findd your videos to be enthusiastic and real. I just saw this latest video. First, let us give you all the prayers and well wishes possible. Secondly, anyone who has a mean comment does not deserve to have a voice. Have confidence that as time goes by, medical advances may be made. Best wishes, Stan & Carol- UA-cam fans.
First, how could anyone have blamed you for Sean getting cancer. That's awesome, sorry you had to deal with that while grieving. This video is brave and terrible to hear, sorry this is something you have to go through. I've followed your cruise videos and you were always so positive. Be strong and ignore the rude comments. I hope your doctors find the right treatment for you and beat this.
❤❤ Love your energy! I've been widowed for 6 months at 58 years old so I get how you feel. My house feels like a warm hug too. I will continue to follow you and wish you better health!
Oh Steph so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, is a bone Marrow transplant not an option. And nothing is your fault. Sending and keeping you in my prayers. And please keep us updated.
Omg I clicked o your page because I thought you were someone else but something told me to keep listening. I also have a bone marrow cancer called myltema myeloma. They gave me ten years but that was years ago. Your positive attitude is great and you just tell all those negatives to piss off and keep in touch with me if you need to talk. I know how you feel girl and you just keep your chin up and keep going
Oh girl, how much can one person take. I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life but you have had more than your share. My words of support - live, love, and dream! Take care.
Sending love and hugs to you. Also, you are always in my prayers. For those with negative comments, don't even give them another thought. They are miserable human beings and I will pray for them, too. I love you.
Thanks Ella! Sending my love to you and your family as well. One day I hope to be able to give you a real life hug. And yes, the negative comments will be deleted and I also pray for them as well. All my love ❤️
Oh Stef, I am so sorry and kudos for you to block as needed and telling people who need it to shove IT! 🙏 your vampire sessions are easy peasy and supplies the needed healing. How awesome for the Disney position! Stop beating yourself up and go day to day! Congrats on your affiliation with Walter ! Sounds like a great match 😊I love it when I see new video has been uploaded. I watch asap❤
You look so healthy and amazing! Your lipstick color is perfect for your face. You do not look at all sick. I love that you live with purpose. And I’m glad you can ignore hateful comments.
It’s not just you now. You are a beautiful young woman and you still have a long life ahead of you. No matter what happens. Be open to finding love again you’ll probably meet a nice guy who I’m sure is already interested in you at Disney. You wouldn’t want to be alone. It’s not loyalty. It’s depression. You take care. You’re a wonderful person.
Thank you for the kind message. I don’t know what the rest of my life will bring. I simply try to live each day the best I can. I am optimistic about my future though. Who knows what will happen
@@seanandstef I meant to say Sean wouldn’t want you to be alone and I don’t think you would want him to be alone. But I mean this only with love and kindness I swear. You take care and keep living your dreams.
@@happydog6537oh no, I totally know you were saying everything with love and positivity. That is exactly how I took it. My heart is open to life and I don’t know what that will bring 😊
Oh Stef….I’m soooooooo sorry girl!! You got this ❤ you have an incredible support system in ALL of us!! Stef, you are an AMAZING person and really helped me through with your story and still helping me through a really hard time with my husband and I will NEVER forget the brief meeting at Mayo Clinic….you guys were sooooooo sweet even when you were running late for Sean’s appointment that day!! I will be praying for you
Have just seen this update. Don’t know why anyone would say hurtful things. You were there every step of the way with Sean’s illness. I’m sorry you have had this diagnosis. Keep string and we love you. Please keep us updated xx
Hi Stef. My wife and I are long time subscribers. We were there with you and Sean as you went through his struggles. We can’t imagine you having to go through this by yourself now. We feel like you are part of our family. Please know you are in our thoughts and we are sending you the biggest, warmest hugs that we can. All the best to you Stef.
I scarcely know where to begin - - I mistakenly (lol) began following you & Sean years ago -- as an avid cruiser, I found ya'll to be down to earth, charming, quite fun, & loving -- i have never commented ever (on any channel I don't believe) but I was compelled to comment today -- I am so proud of you ---you are a legend and a diva and I can't imagine how proud those around you, both visibly and invisibly, are also extraordinarily proud of you.
Keep your chin up girl, Sean is looking after you, you make me feel so good as you are such a cheery, happy, wonderful person, oh and next time you are with these guys give them a big hug for me, yes I am talking about Ben and David, you all are my kind of people so happy and funny, and I am with Ben don"t like heights lol Big hugs to you Stef and be safe xo
I am disgusted that someone(s) would blame you for your husband's cancer. No one can "create pancreatic cancer" even if they wanted to. Your love and support for your husband was so evident and I know you would have done anything to not have the final outcome that you had to endure. Hard to understand how people can be so cruel. I don't know why life gave you the journey you have been on, but I do know that you have the strength and courage to deal with this too. You are an amazing person, very beautiful and successful with an infectious happiness and positive attitude. You have many people that love you and are praying for you. If you need help, reach out to your community. We are here for you! Hugs!
I am at a loss for words. I never expect that to be the news. You will be here 30 years from now because that is how you roll. This isn't something that can be fixed with a marrow transplant? I'm grasping. We will be here giving you love and support the entire way.
I’m loving your strength and blessings. I know it took a lot for you to lose Sean and to watch you now. People are cruel and don’t deserve your recognition. Just delete the negativity and move on. Also, disallow them from your page. Most people, such as myself, love you and are feeling your pain. But, don’t let them negative thoughts, sayings and words hurt you. They are miserable people that don’t have a life. And, is NOT WORTH YOUR ATTENTION. Stay strong and remember Sean will ALWAYS BE IN YOUR HEART. LOVE ❤️ YOU
Of course this is not on you. Nor is losing Sean. Shame and karma be on anyone who says otherwise. I fully believe Sean has your back in this. ❤ We are excited for anything you choose to share with us. We love your content and are here to share this journey with you, Stef💜 Be well, know you are loved and so many of us are routing you on. Love to you always♥️
YOU ARE A WARRIOR IN EVERY WAY...BELIEVE IN SEANS GUIDANCE FROM ABOVE AND YOU WILL BE FINE AND LIVE A LONG LONG LIFE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SEAN WOULDNT LET.ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU. YOUR FUR BABIES NEED YOU ALSO. I MISS YOUR SMILE AND LAUGHTER AND POSITIVITY. HATERS HATE BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE AND THEY DONT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. KEEP THE FAITH
To hear people have said horrible things to you breaks my heart. I take care of my mother who has brain cancer. We all know she will pass, and just over a year into the process we know each day brings us closer to that worst day ever. I fear each day finding her, and knowing I will hate myself for the rest of my life for even the smallest thing I did wrong without realizing it. I will tell you what my loved ones tell me, and that is that we are only human and can do only what our human minds and bodies allow us to do. Do not blame yourself, and know that anyone who says otherwise is likely saying that because they have more hate in themselves and only know cruel. That is not on you, it is on them. You keep being amazing and beautiful. Make the best of the life you are blessed with, and know that people you have never met pray for you always.
Thank you for always being so transparent. You are such a beautiful soul. No matter what the doctors say, you can be with us for another 30 to 40 years. I sincerely pray for your healing and that everything works in your favor. 🙏♥️I'm speaking about your health and every aspect of your life. We love you, Stef! Always remember you are never alone. Those people who troll and say negative things to you are certainly miserable beings.
First, stop beating yourself up. Second, block the haters. Third, I want to hug you so hard. I have lost my husband as well. It’s been 5 years for me, and I still have my moments. My neighbor lost her husband several decades ago, and has her moments. Grant yourself grace as everyone grieves in their own way. I will continue to pray for you, not only to be healed, but for strength.❤❤❤
Oh Stef, my ❤ is breaking for you. Finding out this horrendous news of your cancer is just so devastating. How can life be so cruel sometimes? You have gone through so much & those HATEFUL, HATEFUL commentors can just go to ___! I watched you through those videos when Sean & you put on your strong faces for everyone but you both went through hell. The horrible stress, depression,loneliness that you felt after Sean was gone was so heartbreaking. Thank goodness your inner strength came out (with Sean's help from above) & you are fighting through this! We all care Stef! Keep fighting!!❤❤
As someone who has gone through the bone marrow and bone core sample for my type of cancer, to say that it is not very fun is an understatement. I am thankful that my cancer is a type of skin cancer and not as severe as what you are going through. At least you are remaining positive and not letting the nasty part of the internet getting you down.
My dad has muriple mylenoma and in a clinical trial. It's dropped his numbers 50% in 2 months. It's ground breaking and he is 83. Great news is coming for you!
baby, as someone with cancer, chronic cancer, something similar to yours (cml). i'm also on oral chemo. this isnt your fault, this isnt your choice, i love you, you are incredible. I was diagnosed at 25, i'm now 35. you can do this. i'm almost 10 year post diagnosis. i've had 2 bone marrow biopsies. since diagnisis i have found the love of my life and truly lived. again, i adore you. you'll live and love and have wonderful times. medical sience is incredible things can change. you'll live, for as long as you can. it's enough, for as long as it can be.
Stef, I know you don't need me, a stranger that has followed your story, to tell you this, but you absolutely did not cause his death, nor do you deserve your own cancer diagnosis. I feel so heartbroken to know you've had to deal with those types of people! 💔 Know for each horrible person who said those things, there's 1000 people that have your back! Praying for you! #TeamStef ❤
Life can be cruel. You are a strong, beautiful woman! A lot can happen in medicine in 15 years, so things can change. Keep fighting. Ignore the haters. They are pathetic individuals who don't deserve your attention. After all you've been through, my heart breaks for you ❤ sending love x
Stef my name is Eddie Jimenez I follow Ben and David and have seen you with them I’m so sorry about your diagnosis but life isn’t over you are stronger than you know you have been through a lot and I’m sure Sean would like you to keep your head up and fight for life I suffered a stroke in February of 22 that affected my left side I was scared of what I was going to do but I decided that my stroke would not define me and who I am I will see you in June on the Ben and David cruise keep strong live life and smile cause you have a lovely smile god bless you
My god, talk about two people who don’t deserve the hand they were dealt. You and Sean are two genuinely good people who don’t deserve this. I wish there was something I could say, as an internet stranger, to do anything to make things easier for you. Your strength and optimism in the face of adversity is inspiring. Keep the videos coming. At whatever pace you are able.
So much can happen in 15 to 20 years in medical research and treatment. You are young and resilient and life has so much more in store for you.
This is so very true (and something that I continually tell myself during the hard moments). So much research can happen and I am optimistic about the future. Who knows what will happen but I am determined to keep pushing forward. Thank you for all the love and support
Oh Steph, I just can’t imagine what went through your mind when those words were spoken. You are strong and so many advances being made in medicine. You know you have so many supporters and people who love you and will be there for you. I have never met you but I feel like I know you. Sending prayers and lots of positivity your way. One day at a time. ❤
I came here to say the very same thing. Also, reach out to teaching hospitals and find the very best in this field of medicine. Never take only one MD's advice, one should get at least a second opinion and even a third if they do not coincide. Be very proactive about your own care, be your very best advocate!!! Sending you love and healing vibes.
My heart is breaking for you!!
Is there anything we as your supportive fans can do? Can we donate our bone marrow? We don’t know each other in person but I have been following your journey and I am praying for you!!!
Just know you are loved more than you know by people you haven’t even met.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜💜
Yes! I have a family member who is doing pharmaceutical research- one of those things he is working on is cancer research- I promise you there are all types of new things coming down the line. God bless you and prayers for your health
My dear Steph, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with the exact same cancer at age 57. Although she still has it, and takes a chemo pill and blood thinners every day, she is now age 84. The most important thing is that she has changed her eating lifestyle 22:09 and does some sort of physical activity every day. She’s a fighter. You got this and you can live well into your 80s! Also, she has frequent blood tests and doctor visits. She’s managed extremely well. Praying for you my dear.
People are disgusting and cruel!! Why would anyone say you deserve cancer? You are such a light and don’t deserve any of this! You are in my prayers
I have no earthly idea why someone would blame your husband's cancer and death on you, but no that your strength and perseverance is a testimony.
Stef, Please don’t listen to those cruel, hateful people. Those are the people that can’t stand to see people be happy and successful. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. You don’t know me, but your videos bring happy tears for me.
I agree ! I could not have said it better !! Steph , you are an amazing person !!
Shame on those haters. I watched Sean’s story as you both shared this very private life changing part of your lives. I cannot believe anyone would say Sean’s situation was your fault. I saw your love and your concern for him. I am so sorry to hear that you now have cancer. 15-20 years may not sound like a long time, but in that time they find find a new treatment that will stop this cancer. I HATE CANCER. In 1980 when I was just 16 (and my sister 17) we lost our mom to brain cancer after she put up a valiant fight for 3 years, she was 37. You are a very positive person and you will need that to battle this. I will be praying for you and I hope that you ask God to help you through this. We are here for you. We wish you well and are so thrilled to here about your new job with Disney. HOW EXCITING.
Why would anyone say that you deserve this? You are a bright light, so keep shining❤️
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately there are some very angry people in the world. I say a prayer for those people because their life must be pretty sad to attack someone else. I will continue to be positive and optimistic about the future. Thanks so much for all the love and support
So true
Stef, my wife and I remember when Sean went to the ER for chest pains and came home with the DX, when y’all worked together to enjoy each other while fighting for his life, when you cleaned the hot tub for him so he could enjoy it, and yes the final days. No where in those times we’re you anything less than an incredible wife and partner for him. As you talked about what your mil said, I told my wife that’s what I have been telling you, you do so much so that I can do my job. Stef, our prayers are with you, now and forever… TeamHutchens and always have part of the Sean and Stef Army, go git ‘em Hurricane Stef!!!
Life is truly unfair. Two of the sweetest people should never have to face this. I praying for you Stef
Life is messy. It has ups and downs. The downs really help me appreciate the ups even more. I am optimistic about the future and I will continue to push forward with each day the best that I can. Thank you for all the love and support
For some reason I received your Icon video before this one. Strange so when you mentioned chemo in one of your comments I think my heart stopped for a moment. I could not believe it. Now I watch this video and I truly shed some tears. You have lived through hell with Sean. When he passed I was so sorry and was glad so many friends and family stood by you.The hateful posts were daggers to your heart. But we love you and your strength. You endured such a loss and we saw the despair in your eyes. My husband passed away 3 months ago. He was not a young man but it was the worst 10 days of my life watching him expire. You my dear were Sean's strength to the end. I do hope you have friends and family to support you. Since you are young I hope your doctors can direct you to the newest treatments available. So glad you have your dream job. I will pray for you to stay strong and fight just like you fought for Sean. I believe each day is a gift. I also believe Sean is watching over you. He's your guardian angel. I remember watching you and Sean squeeze every ounce of joy you could every single day. Please know we are praying your treatments are successful. God Bless.❤
Our pastor has this and has blood drawn that often for several years now. He is still working and doing well. You’ll do well. 🙏🏼
I’m so sorry people are so cruel Stef! You know you were always there for Sean! Yall were meant for eachother and loved eachother so much! I started following yall because of how amazing yall were together! I can still hear Sean say “Ship Tour Day” and you laughing and smiling!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us and I’ll continue to pray for you and the kitties!!! 🐈⬛ ❤
Thank you for the kind words. I do the same thing with “Ship Tour Day”. Love how Sean use to say that. People are cruel and I say lots of prayers for those people. I can’t imagine how terrible their life must be to attack others. I am optimistic that things will be ok with me. Thanks for all the love and support
You have come soooo far since Sean's passing. I am so proud of you. I'm glad you are able to smile and have a zest for life again. Depression sucks, mean people suck even more. I'm happy you are navigating everything with such a positive energy. Best of everything and many prayers to you Stef.
My dad was given a 4 year life expectancy when he was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma - one of the rarest cancers at his time of diagnosis. He lived for 13 years. His was a type that would never go into remission - but it would go to 'sleep' for a while. Whenever it came back, it just happened there was a new therapy and that kept happening. It gave him almost 10 more years that what "they" gave him. So all of this to say, I am glad you reject their "time stamp". New treatments are discovered every day for every type of cancer, and with the right mindset (that you already have) - you will conquer this!!
So much research on your condition will evolve over the next 10 years....I've had cancer twice....and life became richer for me after that....Every day is a precious girft!....God Bless you!🙏💗
omg Stef, can't imagine what you have been through but sending you a virtual hug. We are all here for you and sending you my very best wishes
Thank you so much for your love and kindness ❤️
First Happy New Year! Secondly I am saddened to hear about your cancer diagnosis and wishing you the best outcome. Thirdly no apologies are ever needed. No expectations and any posts are nice to see whenever you find time to post them. Highest priority now is to take care of your health and your life. So, enjoy your new position with Disney and the Icon! Be happy, well and at peace.💕
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for the kind words. I am optimistic about the future and can’t wait to get back on the ocean again ❤️
Don’t give up. I don’t know you or Sean personally, but I feel like he would want you to continue leading your best life. Be kind to yourself. I’m sending you healing and love to heal both your body and your heart.
I am a Ben & David fan and that’s how I started watching your vlogs. You being gone concerned me. When I started watching your content I watched all of them I believe. Stef you so tough and resilient I don’t think you know how your positivity inspires people. Or how many you’ve already helped and probably will never will know how many. Just keep being you, you are one gutsy lady. Sean knew that, got to believe he’s telling you “you go girl, I know how strong you are.” From all these positive posts here,you know all of us got your back. Don’t stress the small stuff. We are all looking forward to your next cruise even if you can’t get all the videos done as timely as you think you should have. We’ll still be here😊.
I found her through Ben and David also. Yes! Don’t worry about us - your job is taking care of yourself right now.
Hello Stef. I'm Joan my husband is Chris. We're from Williamstown, NJ. Just wanted to let you know that while we're not religious phanatics, we are praying for you every day. We want you to live a long and happy life. We cried with you when Sean passed. We love you and feel like family because of your amazing videos. Hang in and don't let the mean obnoxious people get to you. They're not worth your worry. We love you Stef
How on earth could anyone say you deserve this!!! My heart dropped, because I had a feeling you would say you had cancer. My prayers and thoughts are always with you. I have followed you and Sean for years. He would be proud of you and want you to fight!!
I will be praying for a complete healing for you. Don't let people get you down. You are a shining star to a lot of people.
Sweet Stef, please don't let them get you down you have enough on your plate. ❤ We all wish you health and happiness you deserve it. Have a beautiful life.
Hi Stef, I found your channel from Ben and David. I'm Praying for your healing. My mom passed from AML at 61. GOD has you and you are a Survivor, and will get through this. All Love and healing. New Subscriber from Huntsville, Alabama
Hello,
My name is Michaela and live in Ontario, Canada. I have been following your story and have been so touched by it. I too have been battling cancer with a small "c" for 10 years and wanted to send you a word of encouragement. There is every reason for hope and optimism. There are so many new and cancer treatments just on the horizon and you have been given sufficient time to make it to when these new treatments are available. In the mean time, stay strong and take the best care you can of yourself!
Those who make cruel comments are just unhappy with themselves and their place in life.
Prayers to you. Miracles happen everyday and the scientists make leaps and bounds EVERY DAY. 15-20 years can be a life changing amount of time for them to come up with help and cures, god willing!
You are in my prayers!
Stay strong Stef and continue to live life to the full.
Science, medication and treatments will continue to develop and we are sure you will take this head on and fight.
Linzi and Mark
Steph:
I'm one of the few who actually knows your pain. Cancer took my wife 7 1/2 years ago at the ripe old age of 49. She was a DII college volleyball player, non-smoker in excellent physical condition, who was diagnosed with lung cancer. We only went in to see a doctor after she was notably out of breath several times during a cruise. I am sitting in the home right now where she took her last breath. We had five children together, and at the time of her death the three youngest were 14, 12 and 10. So I've been through some incredibly trying times over the course of 7+ years. I still have cries (like you do) at certain songs, shows, smells, holidays, memories, etc. These can happen at any time, anywhere. Although less intense, and less often, but no less painful.
I have NOT been recently diagnosed with cancer, so for that I am truly, truly sorry and wish you all the best in your treatment and recovery. I am never one to say you WILL beat this, because we all know that we're not in control. But to say you CAN beat this is both a positive message and an honest one. I don't "pray" for people because that is nothing but mental masturbation....it makes the person praying feel better but it does absolutely nothing for the person you are praying for.
Anyway, wishing the best for you and that your outcome far exceeds that of a doctor throwing out some random number. Treatment advances occur almost daily. Put that in your hope chest. One pair of hands doing research is worth more than a million pairs of hands clasped in prayer!
My father developed the same cancer when he was 65. This was 30 years ago. He was told to prevent stroke he must have his blood drawn every month to keep it thinned out. He was told if he did not do so the blood would thicken and not be able to get through tiny capillaries in the brain and a stroke would happen. He was told he could live 20 more years. After a few months he decided he was sick of being poked and he refused all treatment. The condition turned into a fast moving leukemia and he was gone quickly. Wish he would have stuck around but I suspect there may have been some depression going on. I do not want to be negative. Getting the blood draws to keep you from having strokes will buy you time while research continues for better options. Please do not be depressed. You can have lots of happy days in the years to come. Focus on that and hopefully while you are living science will come up with more options.
I found you through Ben & David’s channel. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, with a beautiful soul to match. IGNORE those bad people girl! You got this. Stay positive and keep smiling, it’s infectious! Sending you lots of love and prayers.
Awww Stef, I'm so sorry to hear your diagnosis. tell the haters to f*** off. We love you, keep your head up high xx
I’m sure that was very hard to share but you’re doing amazing! Sending love & positive vibes to you!
It wasn’t easy to make this video. Made things very real to say the word cancer out loud. Thank you for all the continued love and support ❤️
Keep in mind, that advancements will not be the same in 5, 10, 15 years. Two time breast cancer survivor here; GIRL you are FIERCE. Peace and Love to you.
You’re an amazing woman! Over the years I’ve shed many tears with you. Your diagnosis is shocking but you’re a fighter, survivor, with a great attitude. Advances in medicine are happening every day and I’m confident there are many great experiences and adventures ahead for you. Lois❤️
Oh Stef, I hope those who said those things in year one have been blocked, banned, deleted etc. Sad to say they did make you stronger. Keep those deep breaths.
Bone marrow biopsy are PAINFUL. Sending continued blessings for medical care, it is OK to cry. They found it sooner for you than normal. That's ok because they are able to detect sooner and that means there is a LOT of research sooner than later. Not that you can compare cancer to others but I do understand with my husbands auto immune disease how scary and the emotional ups and downs. He "only" has to have blood draws once a month. Again, NO comparison to cancer but acknowledging somewhat of what you are dealing with. Keep Breathing! Hold your friends and family close because the good ones will answer and listen in a heartbeat. They may have no words for you but just them listening, well you know how much that matters.
Definitely blocked and kicked to the curb. No time for that negativity in my life. Woah, that bone marrow biopsy was no joke. All I could imagine was the seven dwarfs and their pick axe mining away, lol. And you are right, early detection is a great thing. I am optimistic about the future. I have a great support system at Disney and for that I am very fortunate. Add that with friends around the world, I always feel like I am wrapped in a hug. Thank you for the kind words and all the love and support
Stef, you so special, don’t pay attention to mean people. I’m a retired widow, my husband died two years ago. Even thought I can be your grandmother, I’m in your shoe. You give me strength and peace. God have a purpose with your life, you will be cure and I’m praying for you. Love to keep in touch and talk more with you, can you send me your email? I’m a cruiser, love to hear your advise on solo cruiser. I live in a small town in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 . Please keep up your good work. No matter what, you’re a big bright star for me. Lots of love 🙏❤️.
So glad about the good! Devastated about your health news 😥. I’m so glad you are fighting it! You are in my prayers! You will beat this.
❤️❤️❤️❤️to you!
~ Inge 🤩
Thank you for the prayers. Really appreciate that. Determined to keep living the best I can. Sending all my love to you and your family! ❤️
You are so courageous and wonderful. I can't believe the nerves of some people. They are wasted energy, so don't give them the time of day, not a second! Are you seeing a counselor again? Please consider doing that again because that has been so helpful in dealing with my own health issues. Let the guilt go and enjoy the moment. Every moment and every breath is worth it!
I’m so sorry for what cruel ugly people have said. Holding you in prayer . I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Living each day with purpose is wonderful.
I came across your channel via La Lido Loca. I have so much respect and admiration for you Stef. I relate so well to everything you said in this vid as well as you previous grief one.
In 2021, I lost my sister, my husband 6 months later, then diagnosed with breast cancer 1 month after his death.
I still feel emotionally broken sometimes, but its par for the course. Feelings are fleeting, but should always be acknowledged so you can get through the circustances.
Everyone has different faith levels if any at all, but GOD has been good to me; I was healed in Jesus name and am currently cancer free. I take a chemo pill once a day, but it could be so much worse.
THANK YOU for your transparency, you are helping people with your story more than you know❣️
I am a relatively new subscriber after finding your channel while searching for information about the NCL Sprit Hawaii/Alaska cruise itinerary. I enjoyed that content so much that I went back and viewed many of your past videos and discovered all the beautiful and sad things you have shared about your life. I think you have shown such strength and resilience and I know these traits will serve you well as you rise to this new challenge. You have a beautiful spirit. Please don't let the need to keep putting out content dim your spirit. We are not worth that. You have your hands full dealing with grief, a new cancer diagnosis, and a new job. Take care of you. We will be here whenever you are able to share with us.
If folks are mean...delete! No reason to be hateful, yes you are sharing, but we are the ones that are taking time to view. That does not give us the right to be hateful to you.
Praying for you and your health! I am so glad that you have a lot of positive events from 2023, this too will pass. 15 - 20 years, will not stop you. At the end of the day, you need to take care of yourself and by getting treatments and staying positive, you will be fine.
I totally believe that Cancer cannot beat your good attitude. Bless you, we love you and enjoy hearing what is happening.
Stephanie here at the blind cruisers we are sending you hugs and prayers and thoughts to you. You will make it through this battle with the little C. You and Shawn have always done an amazing job and I’ve inspired my wife and I to start our own, UA-cam channel about us, cruising while being blind. Hopefully you received the cross that my wife made for you. Our friend Jennifer gave it to Ben and David to give to you when you guys were all on the inaugural sailing of the wonder of the seas. That was from us. Keep up the amazing work.
Fuck all the haters. I appreciate your transparency and am rooting and praying for you!
I'm so sorry for you to have to go through this. My mom has something similar with her bone marrow and she's taken a cancer drug called Hydroxyurea which caused the bone marrow to function differently giving her a good quality of life with minimal symptoms. She was diagnosed in her late 40s and she's been on this medicine for over 30 YEARS!!! Medicine continues to advance so I believe your prognosis now isn't necessarily your prognosis in the future. Good Luck to You!
First, congrats on the new Disney position. Also working with Where’s Walter Travel, that’s exciting ! You are one of the strongest, resilient young ladies I’ve seen on UA-cam. You have so much positivity within you and around you. You will conquer the “c”, because you are a fighter and survivor of life’s challenges. Always remember you have sooo many people that love and support you. Prayers and hugs to you ❤❤.
Your AZ auntie is sending good vibes and prayers for your health.
It has been a while since I have checked in with you. I thought about you the other day, and am so glad I found this. 🙂 Loved getting caught up. It is amazing how hurtful people can be, and as a content creator myself, I have been on the receiving end of some pretty mean, vile comments. I must be naive, because I did not think people could be so bad. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your cancer journey. I am so sorry for your health struggles. I will be checking back more often now for when you share updates. 🥰
the only thing i can tell you is, there will always be haters and just realize they are bitter hateful people who don't enjoy life and want everyone around them to be miserable. DON'T TAKE THEIR COMMENTS SERIOUS!!!! the other advice is nobody knows what their life will bring you will have those highs and lows that is a given, just LIVE YOUR LIFE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, CONTENT AND WHOLE EACH DAY!! nobody knows how long they have to live so no matter what you get diagnosed with or what this world will bring do your best, love what you do and take each day as they come. you are living the dream life that someone somewhere is wishing they could live. You are an amazing person with a HUGE heart and it shines thru, we all see it!
I just came across this video. I went through your loss with your handsome husband, Sean. We are with you, let us help you in anyway that is possible. You will be in my prayers.
Sending you so much love Stef 💕 You are an incredibly strong woman and I know all your subscribers and those who ‘drop in’ on your channel will be praying for the very best outcome for you xx
I am praying for you. I got my diagnosis in January of this year and as much as I thought I was ready after all the testing it was still a gut punch, however I won’t give up and I know you will not as well. We are fighters and I can’t wait for you to get back to vlogging because I always enjoy those from you. We got this!!!!
Oh, my gosh. Cannot imagine ever saying anything so hurtful. It is so good to see you further down the road in your grief. You are so strong, Stef. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for beating the little "c".
My wife and I have you in our prayers! You are very strong, and there are many of us who are behind you! Take our strength and use it. Delete the bad actors. There is a special place for them. You are a special person and you will inspire all of us!
Oh Stef ❤ , girl you got this! You’re so strong and you will overcome this. Sean is leading you every step of the way. Sending vibes of love, laughter and serenity your way ❤ Can’t wait to see the footage of our VV cruise.🎉 Hope to see you again on a cruise or trip again soon! Love being your travel buddy both in person and virtually.
Thank you for all the kind words. Sean is definitely right beside me. I am optimistic that things will be ok. Can’t wait to get the VV vids out and can’t wait to sail on Icon in a couple weeks. Thanks for being the best travel buddy ever!
Sending you love and prayers, Steph! You deserve nothing but good things, and so much love. Your spirit is love.
We found your channel only 2 years ago. My wife and I findd your videos to be enthusiastic and real. I just saw this latest video. First, let us give you all the prayers and well wishes possible. Secondly, anyone who has a mean comment does not deserve to have a voice. Have confidence that as time goes by, medical advances may be made.
Best wishes,
Stan & Carol- UA-cam fans.
First, how could anyone have blamed you for Sean getting cancer. That's awesome, sorry you had to deal with that while grieving. This video is brave and terrible to hear, sorry this is something you have to go through. I've followed your cruise videos and you were always so positive. Be strong and ignore the rude comments. I hope your doctors find the right treatment for you and beat this.
Stef, you can see through all of the lovely messages, that we are all behind you. Your bubbly character and positivity, will smash this! ❤️
❤❤ Love your energy! I've been widowed for 6 months at 58 years old so I get how you feel. My house feels like a warm hug too. I will continue to follow you and wish you better health!
Oh Steph so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, is a bone Marrow transplant not an option. And nothing is your fault. Sending and keeping you in my prayers. And please keep us updated.
Omg I clicked o your page because I thought you were someone else but something told me to keep listening. I also have a bone marrow cancer called myltema myeloma. They gave me ten years but that was years ago. Your positive attitude is great and you just tell all those negatives to piss off and keep in touch with me if you need to talk. I know how you feel girl and you just keep your chin up and keep going
Oh girl, how much can one person take. I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life but you have had more than your share. My words of support - live, love, and dream! Take care.
Sending love and hugs to you. Also, you are always in my prayers. For those with negative comments, don't even give them another thought. They are miserable human beings and I will pray for them, too. I love you.
Thanks Ella! Sending my love to you and your family as well. One day I hope to be able to give you a real life hug. And yes, the negative comments will be deleted and I also pray for them as well. All my love ❤️
Oh Stef, I am so sorry and kudos for you to block as needed and telling people who need it to shove IT! 🙏 your vampire sessions are easy peasy and supplies the needed healing. How awesome for the Disney position! Stop beating yourself up and go day to day! Congrats on your affiliation with Walter ! Sounds like a great match 😊I love it when I see new video has been uploaded. I watch asap❤
You look so healthy and amazing! Your lipstick color is perfect for your face. You do not look at all sick. I love that you live with purpose. And I’m glad you can ignore hateful comments.
I'm so sorry about the illness and the nasty people. You deserve better. Hugs to you, bunny.
It’s not just you now. You are a beautiful young woman and you still have a long life ahead of you. No matter what happens. Be open to finding love again you’ll probably meet a nice guy who I’m sure is already interested in you at Disney. You wouldn’t want to be alone. It’s not loyalty. It’s depression. You take care. You’re a wonderful person.
Thank you for the kind message. I don’t know what the rest of my life will bring. I simply try to live each day the best I can. I am optimistic about my future though. Who knows what will happen
@@seanandstef I meant to say Sean wouldn’t want you to be alone and I don’t think you would want him to be alone. But I mean this only with love and kindness I swear. You take care and keep living your dreams.
@@happydog6537oh no, I totally know you were saying everything with love and positivity. That is exactly how I took it. My heart is open to life and I don’t know what that will bring 😊
I am so sorry people were so mean to you. You DO NOT deserve that. I am praying for you and all of us have your back girl❤
Oh Stef….I’m soooooooo sorry girl!! You got this ❤ you have an incredible support system in ALL of us!! Stef, you are an AMAZING person and really helped me through with your story and still helping me through a really hard time with my husband and I will NEVER forget the brief meeting at Mayo Clinic….you guys were sooooooo sweet even when you were running late for Sean’s appointment that day!! I will be praying for you
Have just seen this update. Don’t know why anyone would say hurtful things. You were there every step of the way with Sean’s illness. I’m sorry you have had this diagnosis. Keep string and we love you. Please keep us updated xx
With the progress made in medicine each year, here’s hoping for improvements in treatment soon
Hi Stef. My wife and I are long time subscribers. We were there with you and Sean as you went through his struggles. We can’t imagine you having to go through this by yourself now.
We feel like you are part of our family.
Please know you are in our thoughts and we are sending you the biggest, warmest hugs that we can.
All the best to you Stef.
Sending prayers for healing you should sue those who accused you of bad things please don’t ever blaim yourself health is in gods hands xxxx
None of us is promised tomorrow. Enjoy each day and continue to have joy in your life. My prayers are for you🙏❤️
I scarcely know where to begin - - I mistakenly (lol) began following you & Sean years ago -- as an avid cruiser, I found ya'll to be down to earth, charming, quite fun, & loving -- i have never commented ever (on any channel I don't believe) but I was compelled to comment today -- I am so proud of you ---you are a legend and a diva and I can't imagine how proud those around you, both visibly and invisibly, are also extraordinarily proud of you.

Stay strong. You’ve got this. Ignore the trolls and haters. Your health is your priority. Your true supporters will wait for content.
I am disgusted that someone(s) would blame you for your husband's cancer. No one can "create pancreatic cancer" even if they wanted to. Your love and support for your husband was so evident and I know you would have done anything to not have the final outcome that you had to endure. Hard to understand how people can be so cruel. I don't know why life gave you the journey you have been on, but I do know that you have the strength and courage to deal with this too. You are an amazing person, very beautiful and successful with an infectious happiness and positive attitude. You have many people that love you and are praying for you. If you need help, reach out to your community. We are here for you! Hugs!
I am at a loss for words. I never expect that to be the news. You will be here 30 years from now because that is how you roll. This isn't something that can be fixed with a marrow transplant? I'm grasping. We will be here giving you love and support the entire way.
I’m loving your strength and blessings. I know it took a lot for you to lose Sean and to watch you now. People are cruel and don’t deserve your recognition. Just delete the negativity and move on. Also, disallow them from your page. Most people, such as myself, love you and are feeling your pain. But, don’t let them negative thoughts, sayings and words hurt you. They are miserable people that don’t have a life. And, is NOT WORTH YOUR ATTENTION. Stay strong and remember Sean will ALWAYS BE IN YOUR HEART. LOVE ❤️ YOU
Of course this is not on you. Nor is losing Sean. Shame and karma be on anyone who says otherwise. I fully believe Sean has your back in this. ❤ We are excited for anything you choose to share with us. We love your content and are here to share this journey with you, Stef💜 Be well, know you are loved and so many of us are routing you on. Love to you always♥️
YOU ARE A WARRIOR IN EVERY WAY...BELIEVE IN SEANS GUIDANCE FROM ABOVE AND YOU WILL BE FINE AND LIVE A LONG LONG LIFE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SEAN WOULDNT LET.ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU. YOUR FUR BABIES NEED YOU ALSO. I MISS YOUR SMILE AND LAUGHTER AND POSITIVITY. HATERS HATE BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE AND THEY DONT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. KEEP THE FAITH
To hear people have said horrible things to you breaks my heart. I take care of my mother who has brain cancer. We all know she will pass, and just over a year into the process we know each day brings us closer to that worst day ever. I fear each day finding her, and knowing I will hate myself for the rest of my life for even the smallest thing I did wrong without realizing it. I will tell you what my loved ones tell me, and that is that we are only human and can do only what our human minds and bodies allow us to do. Do not blame yourself, and know that anyone who says otherwise is likely saying that because they have more hate in themselves and only know cruel. That is not on you, it is on them. You keep being amazing and beautiful. Make the best of the life you are blessed with, and know that people you have never met pray for you always.
Stef you have such a beautiful aura. You are strong and will be here for many years. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for always being so transparent. You are such a beautiful soul. No matter what the doctors say, you can be with us for another 30 to 40 years. I sincerely pray for your healing and that everything works in your favor. 🙏♥️I'm speaking about your health and every aspect of your life. We love you, Stef! Always remember you are never alone. Those people who troll and say negative things to you are certainly miserable beings.
First, stop beating yourself up. Second, block the haters. Third, I want to hug you so hard. I have lost my husband as well. It’s been 5 years for me, and I still have my moments. My neighbor lost her husband several decades ago, and has her moments. Grant yourself grace as everyone grieves in their own way. I will continue to pray for you, not only to be healed, but for strength.❤❤❤
Oh Stef, my ❤ is breaking for you. Finding out this horrendous news of your cancer is just so devastating. How can life be so cruel sometimes? You have gone through so much & those HATEFUL, HATEFUL commentors can just go to ___!
I watched you through those videos when Sean & you put on your strong faces for everyone but you both went through hell. The horrible stress, depression,loneliness that you felt after Sean was gone was so heartbreaking. Thank goodness your inner strength came out (with Sean's help from above) & you are fighting through this!
We all care Stef! Keep fighting!!❤❤
As someone who has gone through the bone marrow and bone core sample for my type of cancer, to say that it is not very fun is an understatement. I am thankful that my cancer is a type of skin cancer and not as severe as what you are going through. At least you are remaining positive and not letting the nasty part of the internet getting you down.
Mean & hateful people deserve the karma that comes! Praying for your good health!! Medical advancements coming now at a lighting pace! 🙏
My dad has muriple mylenoma and in a clinical trial. It's dropped his numbers 50% in 2 months. It's ground breaking and he is 83. Great news is coming for you!
🙏 Only good thoughts and prayers.
baby, as someone with cancer, chronic cancer, something similar to yours (cml). i'm also on oral chemo. this isnt your fault, this isnt your choice, i love you, you are incredible. I was diagnosed at 25, i'm now 35. you can do this. i'm almost 10 year post diagnosis. i've had 2 bone marrow biopsies. since diagnisis i have found the love of my life and truly lived. again, i adore you. you'll live and love and have wonderful times. medical sience is incredible things can change. you'll live, for as long as you can. it's enough, for as long as it can be.
Stef, I know you don't need me, a stranger that has followed your story, to tell you this, but you absolutely did not cause his death, nor do you deserve your own cancer diagnosis. I feel so heartbroken to know you've had to deal with those types of people! 💔 Know for each horrible person who said those things, there's 1000 people that have your back! Praying for you! #TeamStef ❤
Oh…you are such a beautiful soul! Always be so real! Love you!🥰
Those expectancies are for normal people.... You and Sean are way above the norm. Remember that!!!!!
Life can be cruel. You are a strong, beautiful woman!
A lot can happen in medicine in 15 years, so things can change. Keep fighting.
Ignore the haters. They are pathetic individuals who don't deserve your attention.
After all you've been through, my heart breaks for you ❤ sending love x
You are a strong amazing woman. I admire you so much. Sending you virtual hugs!!❤❤❤
Standing in the kitchen making lunch and shedding tears for you Steph. You don’t deserve this bad stuff in your life.
Stef my name is Eddie Jimenez I follow Ben and David and have seen you with them I’m so sorry about your diagnosis but life isn’t over you are stronger than you know you have been through a lot and I’m sure Sean would like you to keep your head up and fight for life I suffered a stroke in February of 22 that affected my left side I was scared of what I was going to do but I decided that my stroke would not define me and who I am I will see you in June on the Ben and David cruise keep strong live life and smile cause you have a lovely smile god bless you
My god, talk about two people who don’t deserve the hand they were dealt. You and Sean are two genuinely good people who don’t deserve this. I wish there was something I could say, as an internet stranger, to do anything to make things easier for you. Your strength and optimism in the face of adversity is inspiring. Keep the videos coming. At whatever pace you are able.
