Joey and Rory Feek, who won an award from the Academy of Country Music for top new vocal duo in 2010, are asking fans for their continued prayers after ending treatment for Joey's cancer, according to The Canadian Press.
Joey Feek has been battling cancer for the second time, and underwent extensive surgery and chemotherapy treatment for cervical cancer earlier this year. However, on Friday morning, Rory Feek announced on his blog, This Life I Live, that Joey's cancer has reached a stage where there's nothing more medicine can do.
"Sometimes there just aren't enough surgeries - or doctors - or chemotherapies - or prayers. And you have to wipe the tears from your cheeks and say the words that you were hoping to never have to say ..." he wrote. "Enough."
Reports of Joey's CT scan, which she underwent last Thursday, showed that her cancer is spreading in an aggressive manner in spite of the treatments she underwent, according to Taste of Country.
"So we did what you do when the medicine isn't working, and the doctors are at a loss...and when the 'statistics" say you can do more chemo, but it will only buy you a little time..." Rory said.
"We came home. Not to die. But to live," he added. "To put our hands in each others and sit out on the back porch and watch the sun set as our sweet little baby girl plays on a blanket in front of us. To bask in the glory of the beautiful life He's blessed us with, and try not to question why we can't have more of it together. And why He is allowing this to happen."
