- As of September 8, Reeve is cancer-free, with doctors optimistic about his prognosis and cure.
- Reeve reflected on the emotional impact of his diagnosis, drawing parallels to his late parents' battles with paralysis and lung cancer, and praised his wife Amanda Dubin for her support during their early marriage.
- The couple plans to start a family and have banked sperm as a precautionary measure despite orchiectomy not necessarily affecting natural conception.
