Mama June Shannon sparks concerns saying she found 'lumps' on body as late daughter was battling cancer
ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Mama June Shannon revealed that she discovered unexplained "lumps" on her body but did not seek medical attention immediately during the final stages of her daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's cancer treatment.
During a recent social media broadcast alongside her spouse, Justin Stroud, the reality star stated she has been having serious breathing issues, besides uncovering the lumps.
June admitted that her health problems began seven months ago and have now escalated. It has gotten to the point where June finds it difficult to walk normally and often feels out of breath.
Mama June Shannon’s health concerns
Following the death of her daughter, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, from cancer, Mama June disclosed on a TikTok Live that she had discovered lumps in her body.
Raising concerns, she stated to her followers, "I want to know what is going on with my chest, because I can’t breathe, there is a lump in my back. There is a lump in the top part of my chest."
Mama June said that she intended to get a mammogram, but she also mentioned that she was afraid of what would be found because one of the lumps was next to her heart, per OK! Magazine.
She claimed she's worried about her health: "I don’t have heart issues, I had an EKG and a heart scan done."
"I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know if it’s something to do with the implant on that side, I don’t know if it has something to do with the lymphedema that I have on that side," Mama June added.
The TV personality further explained, "It is affecting my everyday life. It was affecting my life even when Anna was alive. I put myself aside. When my health issues really started getting bad with this, Anna was still alive and Anna would tell me to go get tested."
"I was so wrapped in taking care of Anna, and spending time with Anna that I had, that I put myself to the side," June went on to say.
June, whose weight reduction journey has been widely advocated, acknowledged that she had been struggling for a while but that she had set her issues aside to care for her daughter Anna during her cancer treatments.
She added, "It’s just got worse and now it’s got to the point where it’s an everyday… walking through Walmart, it does get me out of breath. I’ve been 250lbs for over three years."
June further mentioned that even speaking to fans on a live feed and "having to breathe" at the same time "is hard."
Justin Stroud can be seen in the background, advising her to see a physician for a thorough examination.
Justin can be seen yelling at June in the video. June says she's suffered back pain for 24 years, but Justine cuts her short by saying, "You're overweight."
Then he defends himself by stating, "No, I'm not doing it to be mean, I'm saying you're overweight and it's gonna become a health issue."
Fans concerned about Mama June's latest health updates
Supporters expressed their concerns about the matriarch in the comments section and posted the audio of the live session on Reddit.
One person said, "She needs to take care of her health issues asap." Another person agreed, saying, "I hope she’s actually going to go to a doctor and I really hope she’s going to get a mammogram."
Another claimed, "Your back to the same old habits you had before you had the weight loss surgery. Junk food and soda pop."
Someone else chimed in, "She’s been complaining of this for a while now. Why isn’t she getting any help? Is the dr ignoring her? Or, is she just not listening to them."
"She's not listening or doing anything the doctors tell her to. She's lazy. Anything that takes self control or hard work, she's out," exclaimed another.
A concerned fan noted, "She needs to take care of her health issues asap . How old is June?"
