Dog The Bounty Hunter's Wife Beth Chapman Undergoing 2nd Surgery After Docs 'Cut Hole In Her Throat'

Just one day after she was rushed to the hospital for emergency throat surgery, Dog the Bounty Hunter's cancer-stricken wife Beth Chapman is now undergoing a second operation, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.

Dog, otherwise known as Duane Chapman, told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview that his beloved Beth, 51, remains "incredibly strong" as she undergoes the biopsy on her lungs today at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai hospital.

"They cut a hole in her throat so she can breathe," Dog, 65, told RadarOnline.com of the scary November 27 surgery. "She can still talk, so she's doing the best she can and remains incredibly strong."

Doctors then found something that could be potentially cancerous in her lungs, which prompted the second procedure.

Tragically, one year after Beth declared she was cancer-free following a battle with throat cancer, the disease has returned, Dog confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

A giant lump was discovered in her throat during yesterday's surgery that was twice the size as the first last year.

She was given a 50/50 chance of beating the cancer in 2017, and her devastated husband said he found it difficult to remain optimistic.
