Fans are praying for the wife of Duane Chapman, also known as Dog The Bounty Hunter, after doctors found that her throat cancer had returned earlier this week.
Beth Chapman was first diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer last year, but it had been in remission for nearly a year before her diagnosis earlier this week.
Andrew Brettler, the Chapman family attorney, explained that Beth was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday to have a blockage in her throat removed. During her surgery, doctors found that the mass in her throat was cancerous.
“I understand that the situation is very serious,” Brettler said. “We are all concerned for her and the well-being of her family.”
Brettler went on to say that Beth’s doctors are “evaluating her treatment options.”
On Wednesday night, Duane told reporters that his wife was “not doing good.”
“Listen I appreciate the question and please say a prayer, she’s not doing good,” he said.
“We really appreciate the prayers of our fans and we appreciate the support of our fans,” Duane’s daughter Lyssa added. “We’re all so devastated, we love our mommy so much. We got such an amazing outpour from our fans and we really appreciate it. Poor daddy.”
“Listen we love you guys too bro, aloha, say a prayer,” Duane said.
Beth took to Instagram on Thursday night to give her fans an update, posting a photo of herself in the hospital with Duane.
“Another bend in the road yet not the end in the road,” she captioned the image.
