“This season has been very challenging adjusting to the new life our Wolfpack has had to live, but together we can get through anything and come out the other side stronger as a family! #stayhappy #staystrong #abp,” wrote the star alongside an Instagram photo of a video camera screen focused on her face, presumably during the shooting for this season of Alaskan Bush People.

The “new life” that rain is referring to began when the family relocated from the Alaskan Bush to Washington state, after her mom was diagnosed with cancer. Through it all, Rain has stayed true to her mantra, #stayhappy, #staystrong.
One supporter, understanding just how hard it is to move and uproot your life when an illness strikes, commented on the post “No matter where you’re family is living Rainy [hearts] the love you have for one another is so precious . I will be watching.”
Rain also recently posted a nostalgic photo of the whole family, smiling happily in their life on the Alaskan Bush, before cancer, and before their big move. “Missing these times, so many laughs, so many memories.. here’s to many more… #stayhappy#staystrong #family” she wrote alongside the photo.
And supporters wrote to tell Rain how important it is to have these memories close to cherish, “The memories you all have made & many more to make. i love the caring & compassion you all have for each other. yoh honestly have a beautiful family.”
“Memories are great little treasures we keep in our heart. Love this photo! Your family is truly special.”
And through it all, Rain has been able to embrace a lot of the beauty of her new life, and of the Washington wild. She wrote alongside a recent post, “Kust another hot summer day in Washington [heart] [sun]” and didn’t forget her signature touch, “#stayhappy #staystrong.”
Ami, whose was first diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017, has been declared cancer free. “It was very scary,” Ami told People magazine about her cancer journey. “But I never gave up hope.” How is Lung How How is lung cancer treated?
We don’t know everything about Ami’s case, but her treatment with chemotherapy and radiation is consistent with standard practices for stage three lung cancer. There are few types of stage three lung cancer, but the disease can be treatable.
Patients diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer have tumors that are not only in the lungs but have also spread to nearby lymph nodes. Depending on how advanced this spread is and the patient’s health, doctors will choose some combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or possibly surgery.

Bone , PET, CT and MRI scans help doctors get an idea of how much the cancer has spread, and then make treatment decisions. If radiation is the treatment of choice, high energy beams are aimed at the cancer. This basically damages the DNA inside cancer cells, preventing them from growing or creating more cancerous tissue.
“There’s the opportunity with aggressive therapy to try to cure the cancer,” says Dr. Billy Loo, Jr., a radiation oncologist and bioengineer who leads the Thoracic Radiation Oncology Program at Stanford.
