Beth has been in and out of the hospital since she was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in 2017.

After her diagnosis, she underwent surgery to remove a mass and went into remission for a year before her cancer returned, which prompted another surgery. Last December, Dog said Beth's cancer had spread throughout her throat and lungs and was "incurable." That month, she began undergoing chemotherapy in Los Angeles. In April, she was hospitalized and treated for an accumulation of fluid in her lungs.

Over the past few months, despite her illness, Beth filmed episodes of the new WGN America series "Dog's Most Wanted" with her husband.
