Anna Cardwell has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer, according to TMZ. Eldest daughter of reality TV personality Mama June (real name June Shannon), and a mum-of-two herself, Anna, 28, is more commonly referred to as 'Chickadee'.
Reports reveal that her life-threatening news was delivered all the way back in January of this year after complaining of stomach aches.Tests were subsequently conducted by doctors, which is when the adrenocortical carcinoma was discovered in her liver, kidney and lung.
Also known as adrenal cortical cancer (ACC), this Stage 4 condition can occur at any age, while the Cancer Research UK breakdown reads: "ACC starts in the outer layer of the adrenal glands, which are next to the kidneys.The adrenal glands are small glands that make hormones that control important body functions. "Cancer that starts in the inner layer of the adrenal glands is called phaeochromocytoma." It's believed that Anna underwent her first round of chemotherapy in February and has already lost hair as a result.
Medics are weighing up how she reacts to the treatment before making any further decisions. Her family is "very hopeful" that she'll pull through, while they're apparently all chipping in to help with caring for her daughters Kaitlyn and Kylee, including boyfriend Eldridge.
