CANCER...ROUND 2.

- This wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card but…here’s why we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months. 2 months ago, I had to have a 9-hour-long emergency cancer surgery called an RPLND. It was invasive surgery where the doctors made 6 incisions on my lower abdomen in order to remove 30 lymph nodes. I was told that there was a 50 % chance that my cancer had come back. It’s been a long journey and this is what happened.

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, 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.
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.
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.
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've been through a lot, sending you lots of love. The love between the two of you is beyond imaginable.
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 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 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 🎄
we love you Scotty and Mike ❤️
Love you too! ❤️
❤
Men, you are both amazing men. You are obviously BOTH intelligent, and emotionally aware, sensitive, and smart men. Please thank your respective families for me, for having done so well in having helped to create who you both are today.
Wow, that was A L O T and we all merely watched your reactions to it all.
The love that you hold for each other has always been obvious, even before you became a couple. I have always admired you both for your personalities, intelligence, and emotional awareness.
Mike. Yeah, I am in awe of you. [73 yro gay man here, with clinical psych training] You have been pulled through a knot hole, twice.
Scott. Ditto on the above, but you have had to endure all of it. The emotional and the physical trauma both.
It is simply HARD! But, you both have made it to the other side. Hold fast to each other for the rest of your lives. You are absolutely loved by many people and deserve that love.
PS - Please, when having tests run, when you are EXPECTING, medical news, PLEASE, insist that they add a vital message to your chart, or test order.
"Do N O T deliver test results, or news on medical status, on F R I D A Y S , EVER, unless it is absolutely good news!"
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 😡😡🤬🤬😇😇
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.
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..
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.
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!
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.
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. ❤
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
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.
I am crying. You guys are an inspiration.
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
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, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇳🇴🇩🇰🇨🇳🇷🇺🇬🇧🇧🇴🇦🇺🇮🇪🇳🇿🇫🇷🇮🇸🇩🇪🏳🌈🇺🇦🇯🇵
OMG! I am so glad that this surgery was a success. I am praying for you! Sending love and light! ❤️🙏❤️🌈
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.
It sucks that you both had to go through that again. Your strength is inspiring.
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!
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 was horrified when I saw the thumbnail. As a survivor of a catastrophic health event and major surgery, I live the trauma every single day.
I’m so happy for you to receive the good news and look forward to your wedding plans and the big day.
You both give the rest of us so much hope. ❤
😺✌️
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!
It'll be ok. 💛 i know how it feels. 10 years ago i went through something similar (brain tumor) and i'm still here. My best wishes for the 2 of you.💙💙
Thank you! And congratulations! 🙏❤️🥹
Why is it that these types of things always happen to the good ones and never to the horrible people in life that can be so mean and cruel to other human beings. I have always been told that the good ones always finish last for a while. So, so happy to hear that the news was terrific even though the experience was horrific. Hang in there and have a great time off and catch up with each other. Happy Holidays!
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…!!!
I am so glad you’re okay, Scotty🙏🏽 Sending love to you both!❤
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.
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.
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.
I’m glad you’re doing better now. Have a good rest of the holiday season. ❤
Big hugs to Scotty. May the Lord shines on you and keep you safe that no more cancer battles to be fought. Amen.
Big hugs to Mike. May the Lord gives you strength to take care both Scotty and yourself, body and soul. I can't imagine the mental strength required for a couple to go through a round 2 cancer battle. Lord have mercy. Amen.
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 🤗😍
Damn, the whole thing sounds like hell. So happy for you both. Stay healthy and enjoy your new life.
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 am a cancer survivor but I did not go through as much as you. Mine was terrifying and I was in tears listening to you. We share your pain, share your relief and if anything I or any of us can do to help you two out, let us know. You have our support.
Wish you a fantastic 2023 and may all the troubles be a bad memory for you both.
Don't know how I didn't find all your cancer videos sooner. I just finished my 9 weeks of BEP yesterday. Rang that bell. However I was diagnosed with Stage 2C testicular two years ago. I had the ball removed and the RPLND then... managed to not need chemo till now. As you know the journey is so tough! Glad to see you're doing well. Like you said in this video and past one, going through this you learn a lot about life and perspective. Sending you guys love from the west coast 🇨🇦
Congratulations on ringing that bell! 🙌
Sending you plenty of love and healing energy! You’re going to bounce back in no time! ❤️
Oh, Scotty and Mike what a horror story but I am so happy it's over , geeze! I can't imagine going thru that twice. We love you guys, don't forget that. It's going away now so you can get on with all the plans for the upcoming year!!!!!!!
OMG but so thankful for the bottom line. Cannot believe that "Birthday weekend at the Monnnnntage "led to this. You are, however, the luckiest people to be going through this together if one has to. Onward.
You guys are the best. I’m 15 year stage 4 survivor. You are so good together. I couldn’t have done it without my wonderful wife. Stay positive guys you will get through. Happy holidays to you both. Feel the love
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!!
You poor young men. I do hope that everything is good for you and that everything works well for you. I hope that is the last scare you have to endure. Enjoy the holidays and live life intensely. 😘😘
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US
when i read the title so many emotions hit me all at once. Yay Recover. I wish you Good Health!!!
you guys stay strong i care about you both
All the best for the both of you. All my love and hugs, Kam ⭐️❤️⭐️
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.
Oh scotty I'm so sorry you had to go through this 😔 💔 sending you love! We are both so lucky to have amazing Mikes (my boyfriends name is mike too!) by our sides!

🌺🌼🌻 flowers to you Scotty, I could imagine the pain when you described the nut squeeze.
Wow, what a journey you've had! I'm really happy that it looks like a happy ending for you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nic, SO sorry that you guys have had to go through this!!!! Great thing was you have a fiancee to be with you this time!!! And for Mike, seeing your loved one in pain is SO much worse for yourself!!! I LOVE you guys SO much!!! I am praying and sending positive thoughts your way.🙏🙏🤟👍🥰. Be well, be strong!! Mike will take Excellent care of you, Nic!!! I am SO glad that news about your lymph nodes turned out good. Focus on healing and know you guys are LOVED & CARED FOR MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!!!! 🤗😊🥰😍😘🏳️🌈.
I had half of my right kidney removed in October 2021 after being diagnosed with Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma ... fast forward 4 months they found 2 more tumors in my neck and face and had surgery to remove them last month . I am honestly at the point of living in fear of the next time it comes back. I know that is no way to live your life but there is only so much someone can endure. I am just tired of being sick and tired! Hope you are doing well. Cheers ✌ ❤
your story struck such a bas cord with me, PTSD indeed reliving my cancer nightmare back in 2016 and yeah why on a Friday, same thing happen to me... Was in a competition, broke my leg just above the knee, went in hospital one, took x-ray and was told they were not equipped to treat me, went to another and for a FULL week tests after test after test and I was still in temporary inflatable cast and on that Friday I got pissed and a doctor came in to tell me I had bone cancer, was going to be amputated on Monday morning and wished me a nice weekend, like seriously, so yeah like you, why on a Friday it reals kills the weekend vibes!!!!!!
Cancer sucks. Happy that you two are doing well.
Good luck to you both you guys are amazing , you deserve all the happiness in the world all the best from Jason in Australia
Oh my sweet Boys…😢😢😢
I’m glad things turned out well.
I love you both so much and wish I could just hold you both.
Xoxo
Good thoughts & prayers to you.❤
I am so so happy for you two. My partner of 42 years suffers from a balance disease so I know what mike was feeling. But I honestly can’t imagine what Scotty was going through. Bless you both.
Praying. God bless you.
Good for both of you! I'm glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. Sound cheesy? Have a happy 2023 😉
I’m so happy for the both of you, u guys seem like the sweetest couple. Congratulations on engagement and free of cancer. Love from Lake Havasu City , Arizona. U guys had me crying and laughing. Merry Christmas
I just lost my best friend to stage 4 metastatic melanoma. He was only 35 years old.
Thanks for talking about the experience. As a cancer survivor (different type) I could relate to all the fear you experienced. I hope you a healthy recovery and peace to both of you.
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).
We are all praying for you guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I can’t image what are you going through 🥺🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Let’s keep praying ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! ❤️🥹
Good luck and congratulations on your engagement.
So sorry you had to go through that but so happy to hear the good results! Wishing you both a lifetime of wonderful ❤️
Very happy that everything turned out well and wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏 Doesn't life just suck sometimes my mam is going through cancer for the second time at the moment thankfully she's doing really well and is on a break from treatment until the new year 🥰🤗
So happy for you two.
omg you 2 are so cute - best wishes for an amazing 2023 and beyond!!!!!!!!
Sending strength and respect and love.
God Bless you Scotty!
As a fellow survivor, you have my well thoughts and prayers. You are SO VERY lucky to not be alone. My ex just left me, and said that my life was to depressing... All my thoughts and prayers. An can you believe some people like putting things in their urethra for sexual fun.. OMG..
Hugs to you both. Glad the cancer hadn't come back but sorry you've had to through all of that. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs to you both.
So glad you’re ok! Happy holidays! Sending lots of love & positive energy! ✨✨✨
You are both so cute and so brave. True love is so wonderful to see.
Praying so much for you both...Jesus bless and keep you both in His Loving arms.
Hey Guys,
Firstly, wishing you both and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Better New Year for 2023!
OMG Scotty what you and your partner (Care Taker), have been through, for some people, is unimaginable.
I have not been through cancer diagnosis myself, but, been care taker to two cancer family members and that road is hard, long and emotional.
Take time to take in all those emotions and be there for eachother, as I know you have been in the past, anyway.
Take care and enjoy Christmas Day!
🤗💖🎅🎁🎄🤶☃️🌈🤓
You guys are awesome. Much happiness to you always. ❤
Yep cancer PTSD is a very real thing for both - and its the thing you dont always get treated for (or told about) It comes in waves and hangs around longer than you think it does - so be super kind to yourselves.
Awe u guys make a awesome couple ! So sorry u had to go through so much. But YAY NO CANCER!
I appreciate your strength and fortitude buddy boys. Thank you for sharing.
Toronto may need neighborhood ER Clinics...those are ok too...and refer to the hospital. MRI and Ultrasounds are methods to check the scrotum etc... There are also range of motion maneuvers to check for hernias.
God bless you two.
OH SCOTTY YOU JUST SCARY ME HOPE YOU STAY WELL CAUSE I LOVE YOU TAKE CARE OF SCOTTY FOR ME MIKE YOUR MY FRIEND TOO AND I LOVE YOU SCOTTY MY AUNT STILL HAVE CANCER IN LUNGS SCOTTY IM WORRY ABOUT YOU I LOVE YOU LOVE DAVID
