'Mob Wives' Season 6: Big Ang Unresponsive to Chemotherapy
"Mob Wives" season 6 star Angela "Big Ang" Raiola has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and she has been unresponsive to chemotherapy.
On Wednesday, Big Ang's sister Janine Detore confirmed the diagnosis of stage 4 brain and lung cancer after launching a GoFundMe Page for the reality star's treatment. Detore also said her sister started undergoing therapy early January, but the doctors recently told the "Mob Wives" season 6 star that her body was not responding to the treatment, according to ABC News.
"In fact, one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change. We were advised that she would start immunotherapy the following week," said Detore. "Well here we are at the emergency room, waiting to see why her breathing is labored and the amount of pain she is having is by far more than she could handle."
