Staying strong. When it comes to her daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s cancer battle, Mama June Shannon said there are good days and bad days.“This round of chemo has been kind of different,” the Mama June: Family Crisis star, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, May 4, while promoting the new season of her reality show. “She’s sleeping more.

The mother of two — who shares daughter Kaitlyn, 10, with ex Caleb Clark and daughter Kylee, 7, with ex-husband Michael Cardwell — underwent her first round of chemotherapy in February, one month before news of her diagnosis broke on March 30.For as much as Shannon tries to act calm about her eldest’s difficult situation, the reality star told Us there are days when she doesn’t “know how to deal with it,” adding, “I can just imagine, like, if I’m feeling that way as her mom, how she’s feeling that her way as a person who is having to live with it day in, day out.”Not to mention, the Toddlers & Tiaras alum said she’s been disappointed by the lack of support they’ve received from other family members amid Anna’s cancer battle. “The people that are only here is me, Justin [Stroud], Pumpkin [Lauryn Efird], Alana [Thompson], her boyfriend [Dralin Carswell], and Jessica [Shannon],” June stated. “Nobody else is here for Anna, nobody else goes to treatment, nobody else goes to her house.”When it comes to how Anna’s kids are handling things, June noted that Anna’s diagnosis has made granddaughter Kaitlyn “more clingy.” Stroud — whom June married in March 2022 before tying the knot again in a beach wedding ceremony in February —
