Ami Brown of the reality-documentary series "Alaskan Bush People" is now officially a cancer survivor. If the series is renewed for another season, Brown will return to the screen cancer-free after ending season 7 with only three percent chance of survival.

The year 2017 was a nerve-wracking one for the Brown family after finding out Ami was diagnosed with lung cancer. Fortunately, Ami is now free of the sickness and is doing better than ever. Ami told People that she was optimistic when she visited her doctors for her latest scan results. "I was expecting great news. I could just feel it."

As reported by People, recent findings confirmed that the cancer cells that attacked her chest and back were no longer there. Billy Brown, Ami's husband told the publication, "The doctors were as shocked as we were."

Ami also shared the agony she went through with chemotherapy and painful radiation, and that she is now feeling a lot better compared to previous months. "I'm still a little weak and tired and I get a little sicky, but I do some walking around the house now," she said. Ami now weighs over 100 pounds which is a lot better than how much she used to weigh while battling the disease.  

Ami being cancer free is indeed great news for the family and their supporters. However, fans are still waiting for updates from the Discovery Channel if "Alaskan Bush People" is renewed or canceled.

Season 7 ended with Ami's diagnosis and the Brown family leaving Alaska behind to start a new adventure in Colorado.

Back in season 7, Billy shared with his family that he and Ami first met in a forest in Colorado and that it has been love ever since. Billy said to his family, "This place is like just over the mountain from where Mom and I... completely fell in love with."
