Encouraging Milestone For Joey Feek

It has been quite the journey for country husband and wife duo, Joey and Rory Feek. They have been dealing with Joey’s ongoing Stage IV cervical cancer battle and have finally reached a hopeful landmark…Joey completed her first round of chemotherapy!

If you follow Rory’s family blog, This Life I Live, he tells readers that he had the privilege of ringing the bell at Joey’s cancer treatment center in Chicago Saturday, October 3rd. This is a big deal as it is a traditional celebratory right of passage for patients who have completed their treatment.

It’s a day my bride has been looking forward to since we got here in mid-August,” Feek writes. “Though we will continue to come back here for more, even stronger, chemo treatments that Joey will get in the coming months … all of her radiation treatments are completed, and that’s what Joey got to celebrate today. The smile, the tears and especially the joy on her face said it all.”

The couple announced the first detection of cancer in June 2014, and their faithful fans have been able to follow them on this journey ever since. Joey underwent surgery, and seemed to be doing well, but the cancer returned again this year at a Stage IV level. The couple is so inspiring and remain positive about their experience every step of the way. They always note their thankfulness for their daughter Indiana, who has Down syndrome, as well as all of the blessings they have received.

Our truck was already packed for the trip home … so as soon as the ceremony was over, we hit the road, and just got home to our farm here in Tennessee an hour or so ago,” Rory continues. “Joey and the baby are sleeping, and I’m sitting here in my easy chair … hitting play again and again … watching my sweet wife surrounded by angels with pom-poms and hugs cheering her on.”

The duo has not let this battle stop them from doing what they love, they even performed together in August, bringing out Indiana briefly (who stole the show!) And they aren’t stopping there; they are also working on a record of hymns, which has always been one of Joey’s lifelong dreams.
