Country singer Toby Keith opens up about his battle with stomach cancer and how faith is helping him through it. Speaking at the first People’s Choice Country Awards in Nashville, Keith shared that he is “doing all right” and credits his faith as his rock during this difficult time. Despite the challenges, the 62-year-old singer said he is feeling good and acknowledged that the battle is like a roller coaster, with both good and bad days.
Keith, who won the Country Icon Award at the ceremony, revealed his illness last June and has since undergone chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In an interview with The Oklahoman, he shared that his tumor has shrunk by a third and his blood test results are looking positive.
The news of Keith’s battle with cancer comes as a shock to his fans, who have been following his successful music career for years. Known for hits like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” Keith has been a staple in the country music industry.
Despite his illness, Keith continues to inspire others with his positive outlook and unwavering faith. He serves as a reminder that even during the toughest times, leaning on one’s faith can provide strength and hope.
