Country star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/toby-keith-says-hes-turning-a-corner-on-cancer-battle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toby Keith</a> talked about leaning on his faith and how it got him through the &#8220;rollercoaster&#8221; of cancer in an interview that aired less than two weeks before his death on Monday.
The 62-year-old singer reflected on his two-year battle with stomach cancer after being diagnosed in the fall of 2021 and what he had accepted about his future, Oklahoma News 9 reported. Keith&#8217;s remarks aired on January 24, ten days before his family released a statement announcing he had &#8220;passed peacefully&#8221; and &#8220;fought his fight with grace and courage.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of dark hallways,&#8221; Keith said in the January interview. &#8220;Cancer is a roller coaster, so it&#8217;s like, you just sit here and wait on it to go away, and it may not ever go away.&#8221;

&#8220;If it goes into remission, it will still be in the back of your mind,&#8221; he added, noting that he had gotten through the tough days with &#8220;faith.&#8221; 
&#8220;You have to have your faith. Thank God that I got it too. You take it for granted on days that things are good and you lean on it when days are bad.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s taught me to lean on it a little more every day,&#8221; Keith continued. &#8220;I finally got a point…I was going through all the chemo, radiation, surgery, and I got to the point where I was comfortable with whatever happened. I had my brain wrapped around it, and I was in a good spot either way. People without faith don&#8217;t have that.&#8221;
Later in the interview,  the country superstar praised his wife of almost 40 years, Tricia Lucus, for being by his side through it all.
&#8220;She&#8217;s been a trouper,&#8221; Keith told the outlet. &#8220;She&#8217;s the best nurse. The first time we went to Houston, to the hospital, she stepped right in and she just took control and said, &#8216;We got this. Let&#8217;s go.'&#8221;

&#8220;So she&#8217;s like, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to get this and don&#8217;t worry about it,'&#8221; he added.
In one of his last interviews, Keith talked about his incredible career.
&#8220;Just seeing how enormous the career I amassed over 30 years when they show the video,&#8221; he told <a href="https://people.com/toby-keith-reflected-on-30-year-career-in-final-people-interview-exclusive-8559418">People magazine.</a>&#8220;You know where you were when you wrote all those songs, you hear those numbers and you&#8217;re just like, you looked up one day and all of a sudden 30 years went by.&#8221;
He is survived by his wife, three children, and four grandchildren.
