Please pray for my mom and this family. From @angiedouthit . “Psalm 146 “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” Brad and I received the results from my scans. It’s not what we had hoped for. I wish I could say that I’m in remission, or that the cancer has vanished. But instead this is what we were told. Basically the cancer has gone wild. I have new tumors in my brain and the old ones are growing. The tumors in both my lungs are progressing and growing again. I have three tumors in my liver. It’s in my lymph nodes. And low and behold, it’s in my bones, my breast bone and both of my femurs. Yes, we were shocked too. I knew things were strange because I have to take headache medicine, Excedrin and Aleve, twice a day to stop the headaches and body pain I’ve been having. But I wouldn’t have ever guessed this. Apparently immunotherapy was not for me. However, the first thing I did after we were told the news was I remembered my post from yesterday. I said aloud to the dr, “We promised to praise the Lord no matter what.” And that’s what we did. We drove home almost in silence thanking God that I was still alive. We met with our kids and parents to tell them. We prayed diligently together. I pray that I can always have a sound mind and that I can continue speaking until God is finished with me. Someone asked on Instagram if I praised my drs and the scientists. I laughed aloud because, as nice as they are to me, they can’t fix me, obviously. I praise God alone. He is still in complete control and he greatly loves me. We aren’t sure what my next medical step will be. I think a biopsy of my liver, then possibly more radiation, and more chemo. I’ll do whatever God leads me to do. I appreciate all of your incredible prayers. Please continue to be kind and forgiving. Please do not get mad at God. This is all part of his plan. He can heal if he wants to. But, we must praise him no matter what. God is not through with me yet! #alwaysbekind #staystrongmightywarrior #itsonlycancer

Sadly, The Teen Mom star’s mom Angie was diagnosed in January of 2018 with stage four brain and lung cancer. The family has rallied together through the hard times keeping a positive outlook and will continue to do so as Angie moves forward with her next plan of action for treatment.

Mackenzie McKee’s is having a hard time dealing with her mom’s illness but is thankful every day that Angie has fought and battled to survive. Stats reveal most people battling stage four brain and lung cancer sadly fail to survive more than 6 months. Angie has lived 16 months past her diagnosis and plans on fighting to continue on with the strength and faith provided by her family and her determination.

As previously reported, Mackenzie McKee faced a tough time on social media in April after sharing a photo of her young son that fans deemed inappropriate, McKee opened up and stated she felt it was no big deal in her opinion, but removed the photo she claimed she thought was just a sweet picture. Mild compared to what Mackenzie and family are facing today.

Mackenzie McKee and Angie Douthit are cut from the same cloth and Mackenzie believes if there is anyone who can beat cancer it will absolutely be her mom. Our thoughts and well wishes remain with Angie during these difficult times.
