Get well soon, girl!

Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth arrived at LAX today to catch a flight back to their native Hawaii, and poor Beth couldn't speak because of her recent surgery to remove a plum size throat tumor. She was so sweet and gracious with photographers, despite feeling very under the weather. We asked her when she is expected to get her voice back, and sadly it won't be anytime soon. "A while," she mouthed.

Beth announced she was battling throat cancer in a letter to friends and family, and she's trying to keep a positive outlook despite the scary news.

"As most of you know, I’ve spent a lifetime facing tests and challenges I didn’t see coming and certainly never expected. I’ve been dealt my share of unexpected blows over the course of my almost 50 years but nothing as serious as the one I heard from my doctors two weeks ago when they uttered those dreaded three words, ‘You have cancer.’ After months of a nagging cough, a routine checkup resulted in a diagnosis of stage II throat cancer. I have what is referred to as a T2 Tumor in my throat that is blocking my breathing. My doctors are suggesting immediate treatment and surgery before the disease progresses," she wrote in the note obtained by Radar.

"To be certain, I’ve stared down the devil more than once in my life but I’ve never faced a real life or death decision. My life has never been easy, and I surely don’t expect it to start now. Still, I’ve never been a victim and I won’t let cancer beat me. I realize the road I am about to travel will be rocky, full of unexpected twists and turns. But I know one thing for sure. A bend in the road is not the end of the road. There is no quick fix and no appealing options for treatment. Yes, cancer sucks. While I know my diagnosis, until I come out of my surgery, I do not yet know my prognosis. If all goes well, my doctors will be able to get the tumor," she continued.

"I will fight every step of the way. My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come. I am so very grateful to be surrounded by family and friends who have given me incredible support during this very challenging time," she concluded.

As if things weren't rough enough, Beth is devestated by the sudden loss of her beloved dog. "As I’ve been begging my Dr.’s and my friends to let me go home my very precious baby died. She just waited and waited but mommy never came. I’m sick with grief from the loss of my fur baby Delilah… you were a good ol’ road dog girl I’ll love and miss you forever," she posted on Facebook Wednesday.

We'll be keeping her in our thoughts!
