Beth Chapman Just Welcomed Great-Grandchild Amid Cancer Battle

Jan 31, 2019 by apost team

Beth Chapman has dealt with throat cancer for nearly two years. Cancer patients don't get a lot of good news, but Beth got a bundle of good vibes a few days ago when this happened.

We're all drawn - well, at least most of us are - to live-action, unscripted, action-packed shows like Cops and Live PD, especially when capturing criminals is concerned.

If you are a fan of these types of shows, you probably remember Dog the Bounty Hunter, a 246-episode show that aired on A&E for eight full seasons. Coming to a close in 2012, the series' star couple, Duane and Beth Chapman, tightened the bond of their relationship by dealing with the countless trials and tribulations over the innumerable stress-filled hours they spent filming Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Fans of the show were pained to learn that Beth Chapman, Dog's beloved wife and operator of the business side of operations for the couple's bail bond company, had been diagnosed with cancer in late 2017. The couple shared their heartbreaking revelation with the world on Nov. 27, 2017, in the form of a two-hour special titled Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives.

To this day, Beth Chapman is still fighting her long-lasting battle with esophageal cancer. Since Beth shared her diagnosis with the world via television and kept them updated through social media over the past year-and-a-half, her case of throat cancer has developed into a stage IV diagnosis.

If you didn't already know, the worst type of cancer to have is stage IV cancer, which means that cancer has already spread throughout the body to other areas. Recovery from bouts of cancer that have progressed as late as stage IV is possible, though it isn't likely for anybody to come back from.

Beth, her husband Dog, their family, and her fans collectively rejoiced a few days ago once Beth posted pictures of her newborn great-grandchild through her social media outlets.

One of the post's captions indicated that the baby was born five weeks early. According to Beth, "He came 5 [sic] weeks early to meet me."

Named Dakota, Beth continues to share pictures of her beautiful great-grandson through social media.

The family has since said that her cancer could be cured through rough chemotherapy regimens, though Dog contradicted their claims and shared that it was not curable.

We hope the best for Beth and her great-grandson!

It's good to hear that Beth Chapman was able to hold her great-grandson. Do you have any family members who dealt with cancer only to come back and beat it? We would love to hear their stories, so make sure to let us know. Feel free to pass this along to your loved ones.
