Scott, known for his enthusiastic catchphrases, has been battling cancer for seven years. But while he continues to battle the disease, he is not in hospice, as a startling rumor recently suggested.

*Scott issued the following tweet Tuesday in the gallery above*

A hospice is where someone who is terminally ill goes for care before they pass away.  It’s completely despicable that someone would make up a rumor like that about a strong man who’s fighting for his life.  It’s nice to see that he’s doing well and he remains in my prayers.
