Mama June Shannon is prioritizing her daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's comfort as her cancer takes a turn for the worse.

On the latest episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Anna's family rallied around her after new scans showed that her immunotherapy and radiation treatments had failed and her tumors were still growing.

With Anna's health rapidly deteriorating, Mama June and her daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efrid put aside their financial differences to honor Anna's wishes to have the entire family by her side. Despite their best efforts, Anna's condition took a turn for the worst, and she moved in with Mama June.

Mama June shared that she and her husband Justin Stroud stayed at Anna's home past midnight so she wouldn't be alone, and that Anna was calling her, panicking, and messaging doctors throughout the night. She also recalled that Anna wanted her to call hospice, which she did, and that it was the best decision for her daughter.

While some may think that Mama June is giving up, she explained that Anna knew her body was tired and her last wish was to live out the rest of her days with her family. Mama June added that she moved mountains to get the doctors to sign off on hospice and that it was the best decision for Anna.

On December 11, Mama June announced that Anna had passed away from cancer, surrounded by her family.
