Teen Mom OG star Mackenzie McKee has announced that her mom, Angie Douthit, has stopped receiving chemotherapy. The heartbreaking news comes just after she revealed during the August 19 episode of the MTV show that her mom’s lung cancer spread and she was given only six months to live by doctors.
“The bigger the cancer, the bigger the miracle,” Mackenzie, 24, said during the episode, doing her best to remain hopeful.
Earlier this year, the TMOG newbie shared that Angie had a seven centimeter mass on her lung and five inoperable masses on her brain.
However, in the episode, Angie shared more difficult news. “The doctors told me that the cancer in both femurs; it’s in my breast bone; it’s in my hip bones; this backbone that’s attached to your hip bone, it’s back there; it’s half of my liver. It’s in the lymph nodes of my colon and the lymph nodes in my lungs. I have another tumor in my head," she revealed.
During a new interview, Mackenzie explained that her mom’s condition has worsened to the point where she is no longer receiving treatment.
