The producer also said that if Ami loses five more pounds, the doctors would have no choice but to put her on feeding tubes as she only weighs 94 pounds.
It was about a month ago when news of Ami's cancer first broke out. Upon this big revelation, it was also revealed that she would need at least 12 weeks of intense radiation and chemotherapy. It is speculated that the family had to move from Alaska to California for their mother to get better treatment at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
Fans were truly shocked after Ami's cancer was revealed and since then, the "Alaskan Bush People" Facebook page has been flooded with non-stop support and prayers from their loyal supporters.
But while there are supporters, there are also the naysayers. "Alaskan Bush People" has always been hounded by rumors saying that the entire show is fake and now, there are people who claim that even Ami Brown's condition is a publicity stunt.
"Alaskan Bush People" airs every Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT on the Discovery Channel.
