Fans have waited for news of Ami Brown's health, but those updates are few and far between. Now the news comes out that the mother of seven is now in stage 4 with her lung cancer diagnosis. Let's take a look at what that means for Ami and her family.
Facebook offers "Alaskan Bush People" many options for meeting up with others to discuss the family and the show. One group, 'Alaskan Bush People Exposed,' has posted an update on Ami Brown's health. The radiation and chemotherapy have not been successful. Her cancer has spread to stage 4 and is inoperable.
What does stage 4 mean
The treatment for patients with stage 4 revolves mainly around comfort and quality of life. Recent reports said that Ami Brown is wheelchair bound at this point as well. The pain got to be too much, and she told her husband she couldn't take it anymore.
According to Cancer Treatment Center of America, the mortality rate is only 10% at five years. The treatment they mention would include immunotherapies along with chemotherapy. There is no word at this time on what course of treatment the doctors and "Alaskan Bush People" star will be proceeding with.
There has been a lot of talks lately about the health of Billy Brown as well. He has apparently lost weight and appears to look tired.
