On May 5, Page Six published an interview with Mama June Shannon, where she revealed she was uncertain about daughter Anna Cardwell’s future. “I’m bluntly honest about people with this: We don’t know what the life expectancy is,” Shannon told the outlet. “Her cancer is very rare. Only one in 1 million people get it.” Because of how rare it is, the reality star also shared that only a few doctors in the United States have experience with treating it. “And the couple of doctors here … I feel like — I’m not trying to be mean — are experimental doctors,” she added. Shannon also said that doctors are being “very aggressive” with treatment and that Cardwell is on her third round of chemotherapy. “If it’s not helping, then we go back to the drawing board, and we don’t know what the next step is,” Shannon said.

Cardwell hasn’t been active on social media since her cancer diagnosis, but she did share her first post of the year on Instagram on March 28. “Well, I ain’t posted here in a while. Your girl is back sorry for the photo dump that’s going to happen hahah I love y’all and I hope y’all hope y’all are having a good week,” she captioned the selfie. The mom of two has yet to speak out about her diagnosis.
