Our thoughts and prayers are with Joey and Rory Feek of the duo Joey + Rory. The couple revealed that the cancer that Joey fought last year has returned.
In a blog post by Rory, he talks about his bride’s prognosis and how they plan to move forward.
Over the last couple of months, Joey hasn’t been feeling well. She had hoped that it was just a stomach virus or an intestinal issue, but after many tests and biopsies, it turns out that it’s more than that.
On Thursday, Joey had a port put in for chemotherapy and radiation. She starts the treatments in the coming week.
Upon this diagnosis, doctors agreed that several rounds of chemotherapy will be necessary.
Here’s what the doctors think…
With six weeks of chemo and radiation, the tumor may reduce in size and possibly even go away completely, and if so, she won’t have to have any further surgeries. If the chemo and radiation doesn’t work like they hope, Joey will be in for an even tougher road ahead.
Joey went through surgery last June at Centennial hospital in Nashville.
The couple have three daughters together, two grown, Heidi and Hopie, and one year old, Indiana.
