Tammy Faye Messner's doctors have terminated her treatment, and her weight has dropped to a frail 65 pounds.
Tammy posted a message for her "faithful friends" on her website Tuesday, thanking them all for sending flowers, cards and gifts during her third time battling cancer (first diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996, announced in 2004 that the disease had spread to her lungs).
"The doctors have stopped trying to treat the cancer and so now it's up to God and my faith. And that's enough!" she wrote.
The 65-year-old said that she is being taken care of by her daughter and friends of her daughter while her husband Rob Messner continues to build churches. Messner has frequently spoken about her medical problems, saying she hoped to be an inspiration to others. Letters, including updates on her health, have been posted via her website.
"I am down weight-wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow. I need God's miracle to swallow," she said in her latest posting. "I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of 'feeling great.'"
