Long and painful battle ahead!!!!

Beth Smith Is No More Cancer Free

As per the recent reports, Beth has been diagnosed with stage II throat cancer. It is a tragic moment for Beth and her family she
said:

“As most of you know I’ve spent a lifetime facing tests and challenges I didn’t see coming and certainly never expected,”

“I’ve been dealt my share of unexpected blows over the course of my almost fifty years but nothing as serious as the one I heard
from my doctors two weeks ago when they uttered those dreaded three words, ‘You have cancer.’”

She further said:

“After months of a nagging cough, a routine checkup resulted in a diagnosis of stage II throat cancer. I have what is referred to as a T2 Tumor in my throat that is blocking my breathing. My doctors are suggesting immediate treatment and surgery before the disease progresses.”

Despite all this, she is dealing with the situation very positively as she further said:

"My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come. I am so very grateful to be surrounded by family and friends who have given me incredible support during this very challenging time.”

As long as her husband "Dog Chapman" and children are on her side she can fight anything even cancer. As of now, we can only wish for her good health and hope God will give her the courage to deal with the situation.

We have bad news for you guys!

Beth who was diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in September 2017 was cancer-free a year ago but tragically doctors found cancer cells in her all again!

As per some reliable sources, the cancer cells were detected when she was undergoing emergency surgery on 27 November 2018.

Dog revealed about Beth's operation,

"She had a lump in her throat twice the size of last time, and they performed an emergency surgery yesterday. They cut a hole in her throat so she can breathe; she can still talk. … "

He gave another update about Beth that shocked many people around,

"They got most of the throat cancer out. Her airway is clear now, but the doctors are afraid that it has spread. They are doing a biopsy scan to check if it has spread. … Last time it didn’t spread at all, so we’re hoping the same thing.”

It is, of course, the matter of praise that Beth has full love and support of her loving husband which is the most important thing for an individual during the difficult situation.

Repost from @janebondsurety It is the small things.... He indeed holds her heart in his hands. In the wee hours as we await the call of her emergence from the event, I am struck by many things. There isn’t much to do while you wait. Literally time feels like it’s standing still. So, you think. You watch. While many don’t understand the chaos and super cells this family weathers. I do. They are indeed the crazy glue that keeps each other together. They fight large and love even larger. I watch as the patriarch fields constant contact from the outside wanting any shred of news. He guards her. Fiercely. He is in his own private hell. You know this. You can see it in his eyes and hear his voice crack when he speaks of her. He guards her as she has guarded him so many times before. Unwaveringly and unconditionally. For many this larger than life family can be baffling. For those of us that see it on the daily, it’s easy to understand. Because at the core is an absolute love for one another and the family they have created. What the future holds for all is unknown. What I do know is that none of them will be alone. There is a blanket of peace and serenity knowing this. You see, it is indeed the small things. The gestures, the soft words spoken, being present, providing encouragement, being humble, saying silent prayers, a wink, a squeeze of the hand or uttering the word Chiricahua. All of it mattered. Every. Single. Thing.
