Francine Fournier has some tough times ahead. Late last week the Queen of Extreme shared the sad news that her 79-year-old father (pictured above) and sister Chrissy, both of whom are battling cancer, have been given less than six months to live. She wrote:

Just wanted to let you all know that both my Father and my sister have cancer and they both have 6 months or less to live (at least that’s what the doctors told us). I am beyond upset right now. I appriciate all of your prayers and ask you to please continue to pray for them because miracles do happen. I just don’t want them to suffer. I am going to spend as much time as I possibly can with both of them, so I won’t be on here that much anymore, at least not while this is going on. I just wanted to say that I appriciate each and every one of you and love you all very much. Again, please keep my Daddy and Chrissy and my family in your prayers. Thank you all so very much.
