Joey Feek's Husband Rory Claims "My Wife is Braver Than Me" as Country Singer Fights Cancer

Joey Feek is still remaining in good spirits that she will beat her terminal cancer. The country singer's husband, Rory Feek, gave an update on his wife's condition in a new blog over the weekend where he claimed, "My wife is braver than me."

"She wants to be remembered as a singer of songs. A devoted wife. A loving mother. Not a cancer patient. And so I have tried to be very careful. To honor her. But my wife is braver than me," the loving husband wrote. "Part of us once again believes that God is answering Joey's prayer by healing her body and taking the cancer away, despite all the odds."

The 40-year-old mother is currently under hospice care at her home of Alexandria, Indiana. Her husband claimed that they didn't look at the word "hospice" as the end. Rory explained in his blog, "The word ‘hospice’ makes us all think the worst. The end. Or at least, the end is very close."

He continued, "I think, like me, most people probably think when they hear that word that it means that the family must be gathered around their loved one… watching them say their final words and breathing their last breath. And I’m sure in some cases, it probably happens that way."

Rory remained positive that his wife was going to continue living and revealed that his own mother also had cancer one year before his wife. "But last year when my mother was dying of cancer – after hospice was brought in… Mom lived another 3 or 4 more months before she breathed her last. I’ve since heard that it’s not uncommon for people to be on hospice for 6 months, or longer. And so that’s where we are. A hospice nurse comes once or twice a week and she helps to make sure that Joey’s pain is under control – that her morphine drip is working properly – and to see if she and we, her caregivers, need anything. But God chooses the appointed time. Not us. Not hospice."

Rory also revealed that he wife stopped walking a few days ago, and said that she could "no longer get out of bed." He also revealed that her pain was managed with medication and claimed that the country star had grown thinner, but said she was still beautiful.

MStars News will continue to pray for Joey's health and strength as she continues to beat cervical cancer. We hope a miracle is brought to this family. We also hope to hear Joey and Rory sing beautifully just like they did in the clip below.
