Miranda Lambert recently opened up to PEOPLE about various aspects of her life. She also revealed that her mother, Beverly June, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Beverly received her cancer diagnosis last September. Thankfully, she is now cancer-free.
“She’s been through a whole lot, but she’s doing really well, and she’s ready to roll,” Miranda said. “I was able to be with her through the hardest parts. She’s unstoppable. She’s just been so strong and positive through the whole thing. It’s a good lesson for people to take away from a journey like that: Even though it’s a really scary place to be, the more positive, the better.”

Miranda took trips back home to Texas to help her dad and brother care for Beverly. Looking back on those times, Beverly recalled how everyone came together:
“There were big milestones and pools of tears on some days, yet we stayed hand in hand and did the entire walk together as a family,” Beverly told PEOPLE.
With all of the support Beverly had from her friends and family, she said she, “…felt like there was an army behind me praying for me and cheering me on. It worked! I’m cancer-free today!”
Beverly said Miranda was a constant source of support during some of her most trying times:
“Miranda stayed as steady as a rock. She was home a lot during my chemo rounds and held things — and me — together. When she wasn’t here in Texas, we talked by phone or FaceTime so she could see how I was. On my head shaving day, she FaceTimed with me and my hairdresser so she could be with me. We had some unexpected bonding moments over her rubbing my bald head with essential oils. Those were the rawest and most tearful moments.”
