Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren Akins are “carrying a lot of heavy” in their hearts as her sister, Macy Page, battles stage 3 breast cancer.
Lauren Akin’s Sister Battles Breast Cancer
Akins took to Instagram on Wednesday, February 11, to share a hopeful update amid her sister’s battle.
“Carrying so much joy and anticipation as well as carrying a lot of heavy and sadness in this season. It feels so hard and unnatural and sometimes wrong to feel both, but these are my days right now,” she wrote alongside a series of photos of her life lately. “So grateful for another little life growing in our family, and also heartbroken that my little sister is walking through a valley that feels so hard.”
She continued, “It’s okay to feel both…I am so grateful that Jesus has been so near. So near to our family and community supporting Macy and even more near I think to Macy-she is truly letting the Lord fight for her (Exodus 14:14) and He has given her such strength and bravery and her faith has grown tremendously.”
Akins went on to reveal that Macy has began chemotherapy treatments after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.
“She’s already crushiiinnggg it likeeee a bossss,” she added.
Akins is currently pregnant and expecting her fifth child with the “Life Changes” artist.
“Thank you for your kindness and excitement as we get closer to meeting this new life God has given me the privilege of carrying for the past 9 months. We cannot wait to kiss the sweet face of this baby boy or girl, and I can’t wait for my sister to hold this sweet little babe and love on him or her in a way that only she can,” she concluded.
Macy Page Revealed Her Diagnosis
Page, who began her chemo treatment on Tuesday, February 10, received her diagnosis in January.
“2026 got off to a rockyyyy start,” she shared on social media in February. “We found out in January that I have stage 3 breast cancer, and I start chemo on Tuesday. It definitely came as a shock and rocked our world a bit, but let me tell you something—God has a plan, and this is HIS story.”
Macy, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband Tyler Page and their two children, Everett and Phoebe, has leaned into her faith throughout her journey.
“There’s pain and suffering all around us, but thank God that’s not where it has to end,” she added.
