Dog The Bounty Hunter reveals his wife Beth’s throat cancer has returned after being rushed into emergency surgery for life-threatening blockage
Beth was first diagnosed with throat cancer in September 2017
DOG The Bounty Hunter has revealed his wife's cancer has returned after she underwent emergency surgery to remove a life-threatening blockage in her throat.
The reality TV star confirmed wife Beth Chapman is once again battling the disease after doctors found a lump in her throat that was twice the size of the mass they discovered in 2017.
"The doctors say it’s serious and are evaluating her treatment options. We’re all hoping for the best."
The 51-year-old - who has starred alongside her husband in Dog the Bounty Hunter and Dog and Beth: On the Hunt - was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning after struggling to breath.
Doctors at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre later discovered the mass in Beth's throat.
Dog - real name Duane Chapman - told Us Weekly of her condition at the time: "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."
Last year Beth underwent surgery last year to remove a cancerous tumour from her neck. She was said to be cancer-free after recovery.
The husband and wife are stars of Dog The Bounty Hunter and known for catching 6,000 criminals who've broken their bail terms.
