Mob Wives star Big Ang has passed away at the age of 55 after her battle with stage 4 lung and brain cancer.
Although she had been declared cancer free in October after a surgery to remove a tumor in her throat and to take out her left lymph nodes, she found out the cancer had returned and spread in December. When her chemotherapy treatments weren’t working, her sister set up a GoFundMe page to fund alternate treatments.
After denying false rumors about her death on the night of Feb. 17, a message to Big Ang’s Twitter page confirmed her death on Feb. 18.
Big Ang just appeared on The Dr. Oz Show this week on the Feb. 16 episode, saying she was told she only had a 30 percent chance to live.
“I look at my kids and my grandchildren and I know how much they need me,” she said.
