How did we get here?
After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid home that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future. That led us to needing a place to live while we realized our dream of building a shipping container home. After lots of searching we finally discovered Geodesic Dome's and it was the perfect fit for us while we took our time with the container home.

It’s been a really weird few months dealing with this, especially not feeling like I could talk about it until I had more answers. It feels a lot better having it off my chest but let me tell you, the waiting game has been the most difficult part. We’re hoping we’ll have answers later this week but as we said in the video, we probably won’t be back with a new one next Sunday. The good news is Todd has been finding creative ways to keep my mind from spiralling...already excited to share all the beautiful things we're growing in the garden. We'll see you soon xoxo
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 We are here for you! No shame in whats going on Tyler.
Hey guys! Just take care of each other! We all a rooting for a good result from the surgery. Get well soon Tyler.
Prayers and love sent to both of you.
Sending lots of love to you, guys! We're here for you! 🤗💛
Sending you aroha, from me; in NZ❤
My husband and i are both in the medical field (he's a surgeon, I'm in administration) and we are both SO grateful to you for posting this; you really have no idea how much impact your story has and how many it can help. We are keeping you both in our hearts and minds and spirits, hoping that you both have the space you need to deal with whatever comes of this. We love that you're taking it seriously. It will more than likely be just fine, but I think you're as concerned as you need to be. Sending both of you all the love in the world. Hugs and light from us both. Love you guys! Chris and Eduardo
Thank you, thank you for this wonderful vlog. You are truly saving lives with this one! This year, or 10 from now, someone will watch and relate. Love you guys! ❤
Hugs to all
Thank you for opening up I know that is, was very hard, but we are your family. Prayers are going to you that everything will be okay. May God carry you and protect you all the way. The staircase looks beautiful by the way. Please get rest and relax and enjoy each company. Looking forward to your next ytube. Lots of love. Ronel from South Africa
Sending you so much love from England 🏴 ❤
Thank you sharing this very personal part of your lives! You have brought awareness to this topic by sharing it with us! Prayers for some good results and if not then you guys will cross that bridge when and if you come to it! Please stay strong and positive! Jacqueline From Texas
My mother passed away from colon cancer at age 28 when I was 2 years old. I'm now 65 and started having colon cancer screenings at age 30 every five years due to high risk. It wasn't until ten years ago that only two polyps were found, and those were benign. Back in the day they didn't have the knowledge or tools to effectively detect or treat the disease. Things are much better now and you are smart to take the steps you are taking. Wishing you both and your fur kids the best! Love your videos!
As one who has been in medicine for 55 years here in the US I am appalled at the medical foot dragging you have described ! Unreal ! Your surgeon should have given you a report as soon as you woke up from the procedure! Now if there was a biopsy done that could take a day or three for results! NOT WEEKS! Owing to your family history the standard of practice is that you should have a colonoscopy every 5 years! I pray you get good news! Best always to Tyler and Todd !
As a nurse I always told young men "don't be embarrassed to death" and explain how important this is. Thank you for sharing your story and I pray that this message is heard by the person who needs it. I am sending positive thoughts virtual hugs for both of you. Blessings
Agreed. Nurse here too! Take tour health seriously. You are your own health advocate!
I love this, wish I heard it sooner ❤
Sending love and good wishes❤️🇨🇦
You can’t imagine how many lives you have saved by telling your story. You are very brave and you can beat this, Tyler! 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
Whoever is reading this…take this as your sign it’s time to book a colonoscopy ❤
Colon cancer is also on the rise among younger people across the globe (all countries) for some reason. I was 36 with stage 2A, all good now! Colonoscopys are annoying but so important...if you have family history, get one, don't wait for GI symptoms like blood or anything. I had no symptoms and no family history, just lucky.
Edit: I also wanted to say cancer sounds scarey but it's not a death sentence! Don't fret, even with advanced stages there's oftentimes treatments...anyway it's not the end of the world, it's just a new way of life.
I’m sure you’ll be fine, it doesn’t stop you from worrying though I know, went through something similar with a breast lump during Covid . It took ages to get a biopsy appt., then it was inconclusive so they removed it, took more ages for that appointment , they kept saying they were 98-99 % sure it was benign. It was, I worried for several years for nothing.
Think positive, no sense worrying until you’re told there’s something to worry about.🥰
I’m glad you made this video, it will save lives as it assures other men , and women, that getting a colonoscopy is a positive thing. I’ll be saying prayers for you❤️🙋🏼♀️
Keeping you both in my prayers 🙏🏼 ❤️. The house is going to be Gorgeous ❤ Hope we get to watch you pick finishes ❤
I wish I could have added my advice, after having *several* colonoscopies. (Family genetics) From the very first movement, apply Vaseline or Preparation H to your toilet tissue. Every. Single. Time. You will thank me for this. Good luck, my friend!
Hiya Boys.......always enjoy the video........a colonoscopy is NO FUN.....the procedure is a breeze.....it's the night before that is the nightmare....glad all worked out well. Hugs
Been there done that. But had a gastroscopy at the same time. One after the other. So I felt your nervousness and anxiety. I'm still waiting for results. I hope you have a good outcome. I was given a preliminary report before I left the hospital and now have photos of my gut, top and bottom. I was told everything looked good no polyps. You are doing everyone a favour demysterfing this procedure and it may help others to not put off getting a check up.Thank you.
Seeing you two support eachother is heartwarming, I'm reminded that, "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
This is the most beautiful comment I've read in a long time! 💕
I was compelled to send this to my overseas spouse. The huge love that you share sets a very high bar for some, and validates what we share with our spouses. You may or may not realize it, but you are lifting the bar for the rest of us. You are setting a beautiful example.
Tyler, you may never know who you are helping. I was told to get a colonoscopy years ago, due to gastric pain. I was scared and just…didn’t. Last year, a friend of mine shared about hers on Facebook and invited anyone with questions to reach out to her. I did, and she walked me through the process and even checked on me several times to make sure I went. Fast-forward several months…the procedure was painless, and most importantly, we found out what was wrong with me and treated it. I’m so grateful to my friend for speaking up about the importance of this procedure - and I’m proud of you, too. Praying that you get answers and the right treatment ASAP, dear.
P. S. If you ever need to do the procedure again, there are prep options that are shorter (12 hours) and taste much better! After the pills, my “potion” was Miralax + Gatorade Zero - not bad at all.
It really is a painless procedure, and my doctors have always given me more pain medication if I needed it. For the most part, I've always been too knocked out to be that aware of pain or discomfort. I find the preparation beforehand more difficult than the colonoscopy itself. I'm so glad you had your colonoscopy after all, and that they could successfully treat your issue!
@@artgirl67 You were awake for the procedure 😮
You were awake for the procedure 😮
@@s.w2934 I was technically awake, but highly drugged... so I don't remember much of any of the colonoscopies I've had. :)
The MOST IMPORTANT video you could ever post. You’ve saved lives today. Thank you for being so vulnerable during such a stressful event. We love you both to the moon and back. You’re in our prayers. 🙏❤
I am a colon cancer survivor, diagnosed at 38. I had blood in my stool for 2 months before I got a colonoscopy. Fortunately I am ok now but I also lived through the fear you’re experiencing. Glad you pushed through to get a colonoscopy and I am so glad you have the courage to share it with others. Hoping that it comes back clean. But if it doesn’t, you will probably be ok too. Cancer is terrifying but a lot of people go through it and get through it successfully.
Don't ever apologize for your feelings. Cry if you need, laugh, get angry. It's your feelings Tyler! We'll all be here with you every step of the way. Love you guys! Take all the time that you need! We will be here 😘.
I was diagnosed with stage I rectal cancer at 39, (just surgery needed), and again at 57 with stage III colon cancer (surgery and 6 months of chemo). Today I am still cancer free. Thank you for sharing your personal story. By doing so will bring awareness to others that it is necessary to know your family history and listen to your body. Sending prayers and positive energy to you!!
I'm a retire nurse, and I thank you for sharing this. It's important for men and women to get yearly health screens done. So many health issues can be treated with early detection. I am glad you chose to share and that you feel some relief by doing so. ✌🏾 &🙏🏿 .
I didn't realize how invested I am in both of you. When the two of you were in the hammock, talking, I was overcome with emotion. I don't cry easily but seeing the unconditional love you have for each other in the midst of your cancer scare, I became a hot mess. My prayers and thoughts are with you both.
My mother had stage 4 colorectal cancer - TWICE and survived. Getting screened saved her life. How brave are you for sharing this journey. Now someone else close to me is getting screened soon too so let's all collectively cross fingers for all of you getting good results xxxxx
Let’s all collectively GET SCREENED ❤
@@tylerandtodd In ON you can't get screened before you are 50 unless you have a family history or you pay privately, or you have symptoms. My husband has had it 3X and survived stage 4. There is always hope. And who knows yet what the diagnosis is. I admire your love for each other. Stay strong.
My son is 45 and he has a gluten allergy which was a big cause of his stomach issues his first colonoscopy was at 40 he has pre cancerous polyps thank good ness he went they removed them and he has one done every year
I’ve noticed since I started watching that you two have had a lot of prayers coming your way. I hope you know that we are here for you and we’re stepping it up. ♥️ And the house looks great!
My mother too (and survived!)
Our government sent out a free bowel-cancer screening kit in the mail and in that round- my mother, friend and colleague were all diagnosed. (All are okay, my mother had the worst experience with it).
But goes to show how common, and unnoticeable it is. Just a random test in the mail, they decided to take. Such a good initiative, saved their lives- my mothers for sure!
Dear Tyler & Todd, You really are treasures. Tyler, you saved lives today! Your humanity and your humility really have helped so, so many people today. Thank you for being such a transparent icon for so many people. I just love you boys. ❤❤❤❤
I never realized that Canada was sooooo slow on getting people in to see Dr's.. I bet these last few years has been very scary!! A lot of "what if's questions".
Colon Cancer runs in my family too. My Grandpa died from it. My sister has it..
So. My prayers are for you to have some good news!! 🙏🙏🙏
Your home is looking amazing!! See you next week or the week after! Take care guys!! 💖💞💖
The younger the person, the less reason to suspect sinister underlying issues.
You’ve given someone the courage to see a doctor by sharing your story. I think the world of you and Todd, you both have beautiful souls, such great people! I’ll be thinking of you both and praying everything will be fine.🙏❤️
Thanks so much for this ❤
As a life long IBS sufferer I so appreciate you’re honesty, integrity, and vulnerability into this journey of bowel issues.
Courageous young men like yourselves helping spread the word about staying healthy. Great role models. Thank you
Thank you hex hex ❤️
Since I first began watching your videos on CZcams - around when you were starting the Geodesic Dome build - you both captured my heart. I'm a 77-year old woman in Lexington, KY. Who you are - how you treat others and each other, with such love and respect, you are beacons into the world. Your sharing of this very personal episode in your lives has done so much good. Allowing our vulnerabilities to be exposed is an act of love. Love for yourself and love for others. You will get through this - no matter the outcome. You have such tremendous support from "out here" and with yourselves and your families. It's what this world need to see, feel and emulate. You are blessed. You are loved. I wish you both were my grandsons. What lessons you teach us all. Know that no matter the outcome - and we are all awaiting the GOOD news - there is a way through it. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do. I send you love and healing light of God/Source. Embrace that love, that healing and that love. I so look forward to each Sunday's video. Hang in there, give in to it all and allow the Grace to be visited upon you. Much love to you both.
Dear Tyler, your representation of men proactively addressing health matters and normalizing vulnerability and expression of emotions, so powerful. Dood, I love you for this. Thank you ❤🙏♥️💙💜💚💛
You are so brave for telling your story Tyler. We fans love you and Todd and stand beside you all the way. Nothing but positive thoughts!
The support means more than you know xoxo
I will never talk badly about the American health care system again. I’m so sorry you weren’t taken seriously and I’m so sorry you had to wait so long to have a procedure done. I pay out the butt for medical insurance but after watching this I’m grateful. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable situation. You have no idea how many people you may have helped by sharing ❤
@Lynette Agueda Why are you still here? Why don't you move to Canada? I have NEVER had to wait for any procedure and if the American Healthcare System can keep me alive, which they have,, then they can bill me. Hospitals take regular payments you know, and they accept what you can afford to pay. Just don't ignore them. As long as you are making an effort to pay SOMETHING on a regular basis, they cannot, and will not, take you to court. The judge would see you are making an honest effort to pay and they will tell the hospital to accept what you can afford to pay monthly. Can't get blood out of a stone and they know that.
Do whatever you have to do to get you through this Tyler - not only do you have the support of a loving and caring husband in Todd but your viewers also have your back 👍
Medical procedures of any kind are scary, even if you are a nurse and understand what they will do. I think you’re incredibly brave to share this journey with all of us. I get the same kind of scopes due to family history and I wonder, every time, “what if” so I GET it. I’ve experienced the disbelief from clinicians over lots of things and, as a nurse, it’s AWFUL when you know something isn’t right. You made the right decision to have an MOT. I am so sorry you were messed about earlier this year. I am here for you guys. This stuff is scary and I know I’m only one of 230k, but I will help in any way I can if you need to talk about this when you can’t get anyone else. You’ve got this. This is important stuff to show, because it will help other people make these difficult kinds of decisions and also not to put things off. So much love and support from me. PS Lily in a box? I can SO relate. PPS the prep is NOT FUN. Solidarity xxx
Thank you so much for this 😭❤️
Just recouping from colon cancer surgery. It was an emergency procedure and they found a tumor, got it and some lymph nodes. Now taking some oral chemo medications and feeling pretty darned good. You will get thru this and know that my prayers 🙏 are with you. These are probably polyps. The medications you have to take are the worst part.
So sorry you had to deal with the Lynda…we’re rooting for you ❤️
I'm so glad they caught it. Hope you have a speedy recovery!❤
You can’t imagine how many lives you have saved by telling your story. Prayers and love sent to both of you.
Both of you are in my thoughts especially Tyler. Never apologize for your emotions and fears, they are valid. Bear hugs from a distance.
🐻🧸🧸 Love you guys!
i am dealing with a lot of “embarrassing” concerns after having my 4th child. i am 35. i am so scared that i can’t get my health back, and can’t find a doctor who will actually perform a colonoscopy (i’m “too young”). i appreciate you sharing this and prioritizing your health. i am going to do better for myself - it’s important.
Sharing was an excellent idea Tyler. You’ve got thousands of people sending the best energy your way, a truly gigantic support group! 💪🏼⭐️❤️
The prep before a colonoscopy is horrible! Once you take it and it kicks in, plan on camping out on the toilet! I’m sorry you guys are having to deal with this and am sending you love, hugs, and positive energy for a good outcome! As difficult (I had used the word hard here, but just new where Todd’s mind would go so I changed it😉😂🤷🏻♀️) as it was to talk about this, I’m glad you did! Awareness is key to helping, possibly saving one another when it comes to our health! Take care guys!
Honestly the prep is 1000x worse than the procedure itself. In the UK you have it done under conscious sedation, so you can watch the whole thing on the screen! Holding you in our thoughts, both of you. Poor Eddie is probably really anxious, picking up on the stress. But you guys know your community here supports you...and we can tell that just by how you both talk to us.
@@nleonard49 the prep is gross, but nowhere near as awful as i thought it would be. as scary as this is, tomorrow you will have answers. the may be good answers or bad ones, but having the knowledge will allow you to shut your imagination down. whenever i am infirm and don't know what is wrong, i always go to the most dire place, so i feel your pain. all this stress will be worth it once you have a diagnosis. sending love and health and peace.
oh, and propofol (the sedation med of choice) is lovely. you will sleep so peacefully and the colonoscopy itself is utterly painless. again, good luck!
Be careful telling people that the prep is horrible. Yes, it's definitely the worst part, but it won't kill anyone, and colon cancer will. I'm sure you mean to say that it's really no big deal but there are many people looking for any excuse not to get tested. For years my mother complained about how terrible a colonoscopy was. Hearing that, my father ignored symptoms. By the time he was tested, he had stage 4 metastatic colon cancer. He didn't survive.
Me reading this will drinking the prep.... I mean we'll find out.
@@joshuaeames1813 oh, it is by no means fun or pleasant, BUT the peace of mind you will feel after the procedure is worth 1,000 gallons of that stuff. best of luck tomorrow!
Love that you didn’t shy away from this conversation. Thanks for sharing friend ❤
I'm so glad you are taking time off to deal with this, no matter the outcome. However, I'm anxiously awaiting news - good news. This has been very traumatic for you both and your family; and we subscribers consider ourselves your family. Prayers and healing energy and light to you both.
My grandfather had colon cancer 5 times! My dad had a colonscopy at 65 and had pre-cancer polyps removed. At 38, I had the same problem as you, Tyler, and had to fight for a colonscopy. It was a good thing I did. They removed 3 polyps and discovered some diverticulitis. At first, it was 2 years, then 3 years, and now it's 5 years to be retested. At 63, I am good. Diet has changed, but I'm clean and clear. Good luck, and you have my prayers. Being proactive saves lives.
That’s a record! Five times! God bless your family!!!
I am proud of you guys for taking control of the situation. My dad passed away from cancer and I learned the harsh reality that no matter what age or stage, we must be the loudest and strongest advocate for ourselves. Y’all are doing amazing! ❤️
As someone who has dealt with the Canadian healthcare system with gut issues and finally got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after 6 months waiting for scope (2012 era) - I sympathize with you. Know that many of the outcomes can be handled with regular medication. I hope dearly it's all simple for you in the end :)
New to the channel because of this video post. Thank you for sharing all of this. It will save lives. As a Canadian and a retired nurse, I am pretty much enraged at what you have been through and having to pay privately and still wait an unconscionable amount of time. You guys are great and it’s wonderful to see a container home go up. 🙏 for both of you.
Dear guys I wish you all good news. My mother had colon cancer surgery and everything turned out well. I’ve been on an every three years colonoscopy regime and luckily things have always been clear. I pray that you have all clear results. After many years of clear results my doctor told me after my last one at age 70 he felt I was safe not to have any more!👍🏻. I don’t miss those yummy drinks! My doc also had a great sense of humor and claimed he didn’t recognized his patients by their faces….only when he was walking behind them. Great Doc! Love to you both.
Tyler my heart goes out to you for having to deal with this and not getting answers for so long 💔 I’ve spent most of my career working in Interventional Radiology- where we do embolization to treat GI bleeds when the GI docs can’t fix them with the scope. I’ve always thought the insurance/private pay situation in the US was such a nightmare and a mess, and I guess in my head I’ve glorified the idea of having a public health sector. Back when y’all were dealing with kidney stones it really put things into perspective- NO CT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? WHAT?! What if someone is having a stroke?! But the idea that you’ve literally spent YEARS with symptoms that may be mild but could potentially be very serious is absolutely abhorrent to me. I’m so glad you’re doing well but I’m so sad that you weren’t taken seriously and had to wait so incredibly long for a very basic procedure. Colonoscopies are done in outpatient surgery centers in the US. Probably because insurance pays the facility better than they would if it was done in hospital but that a whole different story 🙄 Sending you all the love and good vibes. And also wishing there were some better middle ground between our medicine and yours. It should be so much simpler!
THIS!!! I think the nuance that often gets lost in conversations about healthcare is both systems are broken…having a hybrid of both seems to be a way better option. Having Public health so even the most vulnerable have free access is incredibly important, as is allowing those who are willing to spend their resources to have a faster response time (provided it doesn’t take the place of those without).
@@tylerandtodd a hybrid with a stronger emphasis on preventative medicine (annual checkups, labs, dietician assessments, etc) in addition to access to mental healthcare (why don’t we get those kinds of annual checkups?!) would be my ideal. That should all be basic fundamental coverage & we pay for insurance in case something big happens… but the insurance company shouldn’t be able to profit off of its members & the extra funds should be put back into the system. Not to mention they shouldn’t be able to deny anything a physicians deems necessary- maybe have a checks and balances system of being able to question a physician if they’re consistently over-prescribing, but treat the dang patient first. I learned recently that it takes a minimum of 90 days to actually get someone off of heroin. But most insurance companies will only pay for 30 days (IF that). The entire system is like banging your head against a wall- if the wall could also take your money 🙄
It also matters WHERE in Canada you are. The East coast healthcare system is in rough shape compared to a lot of Canada. I’m in Ontario. Also don’t have a family doctor currently, but was having health issues and was able to see a doctor at a clinic the same day I decided to see one. He ordered tests, some of which were done that same day and all within a week (including results). Had follow up and a referral to a specialist with an appointment booked for next month. Whole thing was about four months from origin of issue to now.
I know my story would be different even if I was in northern Ontario. I don’t live in a big city but I am in the southern part of the province. I have not had to travel more than half an hour for any appointments and nothing cost me anything because I have prescription coverage with work.
So the private versus public healthcare debate is even more nuanced than “if you want to pay for it”. I technically could afford to pay if I had to, but due to where I live that will likely never be necessary for me.
Hang in there sweet boy! It’s easy to let our minds go dark when faced with things out of our control ❤
Your bravery in sharing your health journey is beautiful! Much love and health to you.
I am glad that you decided to share this with us, Tyler. Both you and Todd are really strong guys. I feel certain that all will work out for the best. I'm sending you lots of love and big hugs. I'm sure your babies will give you lots of love too. We all need our babies around us. They give so much to us. I will keep checking your channel for more news. Give Todd a hug and a kiss for me.
Thanks for including us guys ❤ sending prayers. Take your time to heal physically and mentally.
Ok it’s 11 days . I check several times a days hoping you guys have dropped a vid …… worried , hope your health is positive xxx Jen
Tyler, and Todd, I was lying here tonight, (3:00a.m.) EDT. and my thoughts turned toward you both! I know you have probably gotten the biopsy results by now! I am concerned for you both, because you have not been on video! I hope and 🙏 pray, that both of you are OK, with whatever is going on! My heart ❤️ is with both of you, and I am sending you both much spiritual love and support! Please know that everyone’s with you, and here for you! We are all one human family, for sure! (Key West 🏳️🌈 LGBT Motto) God be you always! Thomas!
Tyler my heart goes out to you. I have had bowel disease since I was young and no longer have a colon. I completely understand how hard it is to talk about this but you are doing the right thing. Sharing this will save other lives and paying out of pocket for a treatment that is necessary will save your life. You and Todd bring so much joy to so many followers and we are all sending our love, prayers and hugs to you.
I am so glad you shared this with your "Family" on CZcams! As a long time subscriber I feel like you two are my cousins and please know whatever the outcome we are with you. Please know we love you and from long distance we will pray everything will be alright!!
I've been having some digestive issues past few months. No answers yet; doctors seem very slow to respond. I wish I had someone who cared for me at all. You are so blessed!
I totally understand your frustration! I tried to impress on my hubby to go for his colonoscopy but he raved like a lunatic and told me to “back off, he can take care of himself.” Well, fast forward, this Memorial Day will be 10th anniversary of his death from colon, rectum and prostate cancer and yes he had them all at the same time! So glad you went for the procedure and I pray you’ll have a great result.
Oh Tyler I'm so sorry to hear you've been in pain for this long... I feel very warmed that you've decided to share this with us. Vulnerability is beautiful and you should not apologize for it as you said!! Get better soon hopefully ✨
For those of us, that are “of that age,” that regular colonoscopies are expected, we send our our love and very best wishes! Hope all has gone well. Tyler, you, one that is too young to travel this journey, we send all of our love and healing prayers, and for both of you, we send our very best wishes!
Hi Tyler and Todd. My mother passed away from colon cancer about 6 years ago and it was a terrible thing to witness. Now I have to go every 5 years for colonoscopies since she had it. I have had 2 and I’m only 39. I would just say to stay on top of it and make sure you get checked out regularly. P.s. I am also in Nova Scotia and the state of healthcare here scares me.
Hugs to both of you. I've had a colonoscopy as well. The prep is the hardest part. The Salax solution is a laxative as well (make sure that you stuff it in the fridge to cool).
You got this 😎
Thx for sharing that part with us and raising awareness.🙏. Todd, please keep the jokes going and make Tyler smile/laugh, this is so important too😊
Very brave of you to film this at an uncertain time my heart goes out to you
if it helps ONE other person face reality you have done an amazing job
We all wait with you 🤞💙💙🥰
Please never apologize!! We have all been thru crazy , embarrassing and scarey things..GOOD LUCK!!👍😊
I am so grateful to live near Boston! Any tests needed are referred, scheduled, done, and answered within days. Takes 2 days from test to results. No matter what insurance, public or private. It might be pricier than Canada, but it's def worth it. ❤️ to you both!
Thank you so much Tyler for having the courage to share you story and that you feel safe within your community here to do so. Can only imagine how stressful this time has been but like always you handle it with grace and humour. Know you’ve got a few hundred thousand people here sending lots of good vibes and best wishes. No matter what we’re all here for you and Todd. Hope all the wonderful comments brighten up your day and boost your spirits ❤️❤️❤️
Isn't it crazy how we find talking about illnesses of particular parts of the body so difficult?! I wish I could hug you, Tyler. Being so open about how you're feeling, and the procedures you're enduring, is really really good for all of us out here - you can bet that there will be several people who see this week's video and it pushes them to take steps to sort out issues they've been ignoring. Your inclusiveness may even save lives! Thank you.
Hopefully your results are in, and a plan of treatment has been decided. I'm sending positive thoughts and a whole heap of love. x
Being a 8 year triple negative breast cancer survivor who had no symptoms but a mammogram saved my life. Thank you for sharing your story… you have saved so many lives by your open and human story. Also thank you for sharing the emotional side of this journey. It is a tough one- praying for peace that passes all understanding as you wait.
So glad to see this comment. I am currently fighting TNBC and it’s so hard.
Stay strong guys. The not knowing is the worst. You are loved and have an amazing supportive husband.
This is so close to my heart. I was only taken seriously after a bowel perforation and septic shock landed me in the ICU 😅 But they found the tumor early, removed it, and now I'm doing chemo to get anything that might have been missed. Early onset CRC is not taken seriously, despite it being so much more prevalent these days. Good luck! ❤
Hope everything comes together and you can get a calm few days. I enjoy how you support each other like all couples should. My partner of 25 years had a health scare this past week. Helping him reminded me how much I love him.
We all love you Tyler (and you too, Todd). Sharing this will surely help many people who don't realize that there is never a chronological age that means you should ignore medical symptoms. Glad you are getting it checked out. Praying for good results and for all good things for the five of you. Take care.
It is SO important to demystify this type of procedure, and share your concerns with others as they prepare to do similar things. THANK YOU for helping others with your bravery!
Tyler, by sharing this, you have likely saved someone else. Sometimes people need a prod from someone young like you to show that age doesn't matter when it comes to cancer. Thank you both for being so open about a subject that is really scary. I'm keeping all of you in my heart.
I learned almost too late how important seeing a doctor is to my health. I wound up in hospital at the end of last year, and was there for a month. (When I saw you drink the broth, I was reminded how wonderful broth tasted from just a water diet!) without going into detail, the doctors did not expect me to fully recover from my problem….5 months later, and I’m doing better than anyone expected!
There is hope, and you will get through this. I’m praying for you, and I know miracles can happen, because they happened to me. Hope to see you on here real soon with great news! ❤❤
Thank you for being brave and coming forward with this. As one of your older subscribers, I've endured quite a few colonoscopies, and they're no fun. However, I usually learn of the results as I'm coming around from the anesthesia, with a follow-up a few days later. It seems really cruel and unnecessary to keep you waiting for the results! I hope when the news comes it's good news, or at least the beginning of a plan of action. Sending positive energy your way!
Hi guys,it’s last weeks video, I know there’s to be none this week, but I’m just checking in a little, no response needed , just to let you know I’m thinking of you and hope your ok. Take care , love from Scotland 🏴🌸🌸🌸💕
I will keep you daily in my prayers and affirmations. You guys bring so much joy to everyone who encounters you.
Gosh guys, I’m thinking of you both and sending so much love. Sharing this journey is such an amazing gift to everyone who watches it, Tyler. You are actively saving lives by doing so and I cannot tell you how much I that I admire, support and appreciate the love you’re showing each one of us. I love you back and am holding you in my heart and mind as you deal day by day. Sincerely, Hank
I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this and am so impressed by your willingness to share such a feeling and importance story. Too many men (of all ages) do nothing for too long. More men need to be open about their health - there is, after all, a huge bravery in opening up and not being ‘strong’ (for which read ‘stupid’). Thank you for your strength and courage.
I’m praying to the universe to hold you in the highest power Tyler… to keep you safe you and Todd, both and of course the doggies and kitty…
As someone with Crohn' diseases who has had to have a colonoscopy every year for 10 years before I was able to take a 3 year break. I feel for you. I'm due again in July. I'll be keeping a good thoughts for you and hope you get good news> Love you guys!
You've done a great thing with this video. Our family didn't inherit money, we inherited bad health. We'll keep you in thoughts and prayers and your support network is here for you as best we can. Love you to bits. Hang in there. Sending much love and hugs.
My time in the Hospital nearly overlapped Tyler's. I had my Left shoulder joint replaced on May 12 and was home in time
to see your May 14 video. I am certain that Tyler is extremely happy with the equipment improvements for that procedure
over the last 30 years since I got scoped. Hope you have received good information by now. 🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
You're brave to share this with everyone.
Oh, Tyler! 😢 Im sending you and Todd love, strength and prayers
Got to love the Canadian health systems. 😢
Sending positive vibes to you, Todd and your furry beasts. I went through something very similar in my 20’s and am really glad that I got it checked out. It’s brave of you to give voice to this. It will hopefully prompt others to take their health in hand and also help to decrease the stigma about talking about bowel issues. It’s so important to listen to your body. Don’t ever let anyone, even a doctor minimize your experience. Only you know your body. Stay well, Tyler.
Just had my colonoscopy and no cancer. Of course I wish the same for you. Waiting with you for good news!
Good luck Tyler! I am hoping you got good news after your colonoscopy. My grandmother died of colon cancer. I'm also in Canada, and a few years ago, I started having strange bowel symptoms and my doctor said "it's probably nothing, don't worry about it." I insisted on doing a colonoscopy. I had four pre-cancerous polyps and the doctor said they were fairly large. If I had waited, it might have been more serious. Your video also is heartbreaking because it shows how much the healthcare system in Canada has deteriorated. It is so difficult to get treatment now--wait lists are long, millions don't have a primary doctor. This is not acceptable.
My heart goes out to you, Tyler. I truly hope everything is going to be OK in the end. Like many other longtime viewers of the channel, I applaud your courage in sharing this health challenge and bringing us along for the journey. I am confident you will help save someone else by your courage.
By all means, take next week off if you're not up to it. We'll survive.
You are lucky to have such a caring husband who is happy to support you through this.
Get Well Soon, Tyler!
I’ve cried and laughed out loud so many times this video. I guess I’m pretty darn attached to you all and our Sunday’s together as a Tyler and Todd community! ❤
@@pattistevens6737 Grateful for our sisters @marieNeu
Wow, here it the states had a coloscopy at the hospital for one hour and 45 minutes, had the results and printed pictures ( I really didn't need to see that) when I left. Was totally lucid on the way home and worked it the yard that afternoon. Hope your feeling better soon and have good news to share. PS: love how the home is coming along.
it's going to be a gorgeous place, love the stairwell, the windows...the light streaming in and the view - so wonderful!!
Honestly! Let's talk crap. It seems so embarrassing, but it is so important. As a medical professional I know how important these things can be. As a human we can feel so much shame and fear dealing with our bodies. Putting this out there for others is wonderful! Your transparency and vulnerability is beautiful. You are not alone and you are helping others know they are not alone as well. You're right, you have nothing to apologize for.🙌 Prepping for colonoscopies is not fun, but they can be absolutely life saving. Stay hydrated. I am sending every healing thought. The place is looking awesome!! It's starting to really take shape. So exciting! Big hugs gorgeous souls. Until next time. 💜💜
You have such dignity. Sharing this information in this video shows what an extraordinary force for good you can be with simple honesty and courage. Bravo!
I've had some things done to my situation.(down below)
I'm glad you're taking care of it.. And everybody, all men And women should always get check ✔️.. With lots of love all the way from Indianapolis, Indiana.. USA 🇺🇸 ❤🐶🐶🐈⬛
Your sharing has probably helped so many people. I appreciate how difficult this must be. Love and good thoughts are the order for you.
As someone who’s had bowel issues, including a bowel perforation, thank you for sharing your story. SO much love being sent your way!!
This happened to my Dad and it ended up just being polyps. Praying for you Tyler! 🙏❤️
Poor baby,i totally understand what your going through,i did my prep while at work 😢 you do what you have to,to take care of yourself,Love and Prayers for both of y'all from Alabama ❤
Been there, done that, more than once. NEVER FUN, but a relief when it is over. Praying for you.
My Dad was a colin cancer survivor. He lived to 92. You have many more healthy happy years ahead of you. Wishing you only the best. Your positive attitude and strong support team will carry you through. Plus there are all your followers rooting for you. ❤️❤️❤️
You just taught this 70 year old a lot about acceptance and vulnerability and love. You guys rock.
So sorry to learn you are dealing with this. Every provincial health system is different and it’s such a patchwork at the moment. I’m sorry you have faced so many roadblocks in Nova Scotia. My care pathway in BC for something similar was really quick & although I had no family history and am roughly the same age as you I got straight in & was given answers quickly. Hope things get better from here.
Sending love from the west coast.
Tyler, You made the right choice in "getting IT off your chest". I realize that there is reality and then there is reality. In this case, we benefit from your sharing of what's happening to you. Thanks so putting your bottom on the top of our viewing option--much appreciated.
