Fans of Breaking Amish: Return to Amish saw Andrew Schmucker and his English girlfriend Chapel receive a major blow on the most recent episode, and it appears that things may not have improved for the couple since filming wrapped.
Abe and Rebecca Introduce Baby Malaika To Family?
The recent episode saw Chapel receive the news that she was no longer cancer-free, after being in remission for a while from bone cancer. She is now once again suffering from the disease, but this time it's in her lungs, and at a serious state.
It was previously revealed that she and Andrew married during the season's filming, but the couple's marriage could be at risk of being a short one, as her cancer still appears to be a major part of their lives.

"Another trip to the Hillman [Cancer Center]," she wrote on her Facebook page June 13.
The mother-of-two and new wife appears to have not received good news at the appointment, as her posts the following day hinted something was horribly wrong with her.
"I feel so defeated..." she wrote the following day.
Not only has her health been a struggle on her physically, it appears it may have also affected her family financially as well. She tried raising money for her medical treatments six months ago on a youcaring.com fundraiser, but only raised $55 of a $1000 goal.
On the page for the donation she wrote about how much it would mean to her to be able to give her two children, Kolden and Kadence, some more financial security as they face the possibility of an uncertain future without their mother.
"Being a single mother is a struggle but now having lung cancer I'm unable to work and medical bills are stackin' up and house hold bills and travel expense for the trips for treatment the world in becoming a scary place... Everyday when I have another day to wake up is a blessing, but how long I can hold everything together I have no idea...This is something I would never do but I'm asking now please from the bottom of my heart even if just a few cents help me and my children not worry about tomorrow and be thankful that we have today..." she wrote.
