Back in March, family sources had revealed to TMZ that Cardwell was diagnosed with stage four adrenal carcinoma, which affected her adrenal glands.
Since her illness is terminal, she has undergone chemotherapy and her next option was going through clinical trials for immune therapy.

I understand you are going through stage four cancer, and I truly hope that you get better soon. But, could you be AT THE VERY LEAST be a little bit nicer?"
The thread further explained, "Why is Anna always acting so aggressive and rude and a bully? She is also one of the meanest moderators of her sisters live's, who would block anyone immediately if they dare to not comment as if these people are 100% perfect and are one of the best humans ever."
The Redditor raged on, saying, "And then she verbally abuses her kids and husband, knowing fully well she is online and on video. How does she act to them behind closed doors?" They concluded, "Anna, could you AT LEAST try to be a little nicer to people?"
A commenter attacked her and her family, saying, "Thats that junebug trait."
A user slammed Cardwell by saying, "Cancer doesn't excuse being an a*****e". Another user remarked, "She was so mean way before cancer she literally used to call her mom and sisters fat on tv. I’ve never liked her."

Another user stated the similarity between Cardwell and his mother's behavior and mentioned that the latter also suffered from cancer, "My mom had stage four cancer, the nicest person ever.. but when she got sick, she was so bitter, so angry! I understood her bitterness and her anger.."
The user continued, "But how is one supposed to act seriously I did not hold it against my mother! It’s kind a hard to sit here and say how mean Anna is being, because she is the one with the cancer not us. We don’t know what she’s going through. I cannot question how she’s acting."
