Honey Boo Boo star Mama June reunites with daughter Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell amid her cancer battle

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star Mama June has reunited with daughter Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell in the wake of her cancer diagnosis, just weeks after it was reported she was working on their bond to mend their strained relationship.

The 43-year-old mother of four — full name June Shannon — and her 28-year-old daughter appeared to have put their troubled pasts behind them as they smiled for a selfie together in a hospital room.

Chickadee – who was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal cancer – also posed for a selfie wearing a red medical cap.

It was a family affair when they started Chickadee as Mama June was also joined by husband Justin Stroud alongside her daughters Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson and Lauren ‘Pumpkin’ Efird.

Chickadee’s 10-year-old daughter Kaitlyn Elizabeth Clark was also seen sitting on her mother’s lap in a selfie.

The group was later seen wearing yellow medical face masks as they left the hospital as they formed a united front.

This was reported earlier this month TMZ that June cherished the bond with her daughter, even though their relationship had been strained in recent years.

Insiders told the site that Mama June and Cardwell started mending their relationship about a year ago, but now they’re a lot closer.

In 2021, Anna was outspoken about creating distance between herself and her mother when June began a romance with Mark McDaniel, who Anna said sexually assaulted her during her adolescence.

Now the two are putting the past behind them as June does things like watching Anna’s kids to help her cope with her new reality.

It was also noted that June accompanied Anna to her doctor’s appointments because she “wants her daughter to know she has a support system.”

Cardwell underwent her first chemotherapy session last month stage 4 cancer in her liver, kidneys and lungs after being diagnosed with rare adrenal carcinoma in January.

Doctors are now monitoring her progress before making decisions about further treatment.

Mama June Shannon’s eldest daughter reported having abdominal pain before testing and being diagnosed.

In recent images, Anna appeared with her eldest daughter, Kaitlyn, 10, as the rest of the family support her and remain hopeful.

The TLC alum also took photos of herself undergoing treatment at a Georgia hospital.

On Thursday, her 17-year-old sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, took to Instagram to confirm the devastating diagnosis by sharing an article from TMZ.

Thompson wrote alongside a screenshot of the post, “Here’s what I mean when I say you never really know what someone is going through at home. No matter how famous they are.’

“Yes, I am very famous, but normal things happen to me and my family and you need to realize that as soon as possible,” she added.

According to the American Cancer Society, adrenocortical carcinoma – also known as adrenocortical cancer – is a disease that affects an estimated 200 Americans each year.

Sources close to the family report that they are all “very hopeful” that Cardwell will survive and overcome the rare disease.
