Dog The Bounty Hunter star Beth Chapman has been diagnosed with stage 2 throat cancer
In letters obtained by US Weekly Chapman says, "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.’"
Chapman doesn't see this as defeat, as she plans to fight the cancer head on and overcome it. "I will fight every step of the way. 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.”
