Joey Feek Terminal Cancer: At Peace With Dying, Country Singer Speaks Out

Country singer Joey Feek of the duo Joey + Rory is leaning on her Christian faith as she is given months or weeks to live. The country star has stopped cancer treatment and is on hospice due to cervical cancer. Feek states she is "at peace" with dying.

Feek and her husband, Rory Feek, who married in 2002 and were discovered on CMT's Can You Duet?, found that Joey had cervical cancer just months after welcoming their daughter, Indiana.

Baby Indiana was born in 2014, and the couple later shared that she had Downs Syndrome.

Feek had treatment for her cervical cancer and it appeared the cancer was gone. But sadly, the cancer returned a year later.

Her husband Rory revealed on his This Life I Live blog that his wife would not seek additional medical treatment due to the rapid spread of the terminal cancer.

The 40-year-old country star told The Tennessean newspaper, "I thought I did everything. But God decided for me that my job of singing for people down here is my legacy, and he needs me singing up there. That's how I look at it".

Feek is now under hospice care at her Indiana home. The singer is on morphine to control her pain.

The singer told the publication, "I pray that one morning I just don't wake up. But I don't fear anything because I'm so close to God and we've talked about it so many times. I know he's close. And I know he loves me. I'm really at peace. I still believe there's healing in prayer."

Joey, Rory and 20-month-old Indiana are staying at the home in Alexandria, Indiana. Feek has requested she be buried in a wooden box with a cross on it at their farm in Pottsville, Tennessee.

Her husband wrote on his blog, "Whatever she wants... that's what I want".
