Help Anna Cardwell fight Stage 4 cancer: Mama June's daughter creates Amazon wish list
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It's a story that no family ever wants to hear - the news that a loved one has been diagnosed with advanced cancer. But for Mama June's eldest daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, this devastating news became a reality in January when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. The news came as a shock to Anna and her family, who had noticed her complaining of stomach aches and discomfort. Concerned for her health, they took her to the doctor, and it was then that the true extent of the cancer was revealed. It had spread to her liver, lung, and kidney, leaving Anna with a difficult battle ahead of her.
But even in the face of such adversity, Anna is not alone. Her family has come together in her time of need, rallying around her and contributing in any way they can. For Anna, that hope comes in the form of chemotherapy, which she has already undergone. But as many cancer patients know, the treatment can take a toll on the body, and Anna has already experienced the loss of her hair as a result. It's a difficult thing to go through, and one that Anna has bravely shared with her fans on social media. Amid her struggles, Anna asked her fans to donate wigs and hair extensions to help her feel more like herself again.
