Latest update on Beth Chapman's treatment for throat cancer revealed
Two months ago, doctors found that reality star Beth Chapman's cancer had returned. The discovery was made during emergency surgery to clear a blockage in her throat.
Now, it’s been revealed what steps she’s taken to deal with her latest diagnosis.
On November 27, Beth Chapman, 51, was rushed to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles to clear a life-threatening blockage in her throat that made it difficult for her to breathe. That’s when she found out that the cancer she beat in 2017 was back.
Sources have revealed that she’s started chemotherapy to fight the throat cancer. It’s believed that she started the treatment a couple of weeks ago.
She and her husband Duane “Dog” Chapman have been traveling to Los Angeles for the treatments. Beth has been spending most of her time at their family home in Colorado.
The insiders shared that the diagnosis remained serious but the good news was that Beth was responding well to the chemotherapy. She’s also said to be in good spirits.
Shortly after the emergency surgery which found the cancerous mass in Beth’s throat, Duane was interviewed in Los Angeles. He shared on the severity of his wife’s latest diagnosis and thanked fans for their support.
Reports stated that the cancer had “spread to her lungs” and that doctors had deemed it “incurable.” Speaking to the press, the "Dog the Bounty hunter" star revealed, “I pray a lot, anywhere. I cry all the time. I'm a sinner. I pray a lot. I have done double that.”
He added:
“I constantly ask God to heal my honey and make sure HE takes care of it. I've been telling Him that I'm going to try and quit smoking and cursing. I'm a dealmaker, and I'll do anything.”
Two years ago, Beth went into surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her throat. Speaking about her initial cancer diagnosis she said at the time:
"I've stared down the devil more than once in my life but I've never faced a real life or death decision. My life has never been easy, and I surely don't expect it to start now. Still, I've never been a victim and I won't let cancer beat me."
