- Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of Dog the Bounty Hunter, shared a photo of his wife, Beth Chapman, from her hospital bed.
- Beth, 51, was put into a medically-induced coma Friday in order for doctors to continue her treatment for stage four throat cancer.
- Beth was initially diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017.
Beth Chapman, wife of Duane “Dog” Chapman and bail bondswoman on the reality show Dog the Bounty Hunter, is still reportedly in a medically-induced coma, and her husband just shared a lighthearted update on Twitter.
In a new photo posted Monday night, Duane shared a close-up of Beth’s bedazzled manicure-from her hospital bed. “You all know how she is about HER NAILS !!” he wrote. In the photo, you can also see Beth’s hospital bracelets and IV.
On Friday, Beth, who currently has throat cancer, was hospitalized after she had difficulty breathing and briefly passed out, USA Today reports. Doctors then put her in a medically-induced coma to help spare her from pain while she receives treatment, family spokesperson Mona Wood-Sword told the Associated Press.
On Saturday, Duane sent out a tweet asking fans for prayers for his wife. “Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you,” he wrote. The next day, Duane tweeted a link to a Hawaii News Now story that reported that Beth was admitted to the ICU at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the couple lives.
Beth was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in September 2017 after she had a nagging cough. Two months later, she announced the cancer was removed on an A&E special Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives. It later returned as stage four lung cancer, and she began chemotherapy in December 2018, Wood-Sword told the Associated Press.
