Big Ang from VH1’s Mob Wives has recently been diagnosed with throat cancer and her fans wanted to help her out with her hospital bills for whatever insurance did not cost. Being a good sister she is and trying to help, Ang’s sissy Janine Detore created a GoFundMe account so all of Ang’s worried fans could have an easy way to donate cash money for her surgeries. However, Ang was never told about the page. A random fan asked Janine why a celebrity was asking their fans for help, and she realized that was a valid point. She quickly took down the page and apologized to fans for even asking for any help due to the fact that between Ang and her family, they’re more than capable of covering any hospital bills. The page was only active for a few hours but in that time, they raised $150. We hope you feel better, Ang!

In a long heart-felt message Ang wrote:
Hi my babies! I am finally able to take a moment to speak to you all. First off, my apologies that you had to find out about my condition from every other outlet but me. This was never my intent, but unfortunately it got out there. Secondly, I want to clarify the rumors that I am hospitalized. I went in for a test due to the nodule in my throat. I had a nerve wracking couple of days, as would anyone when you hear testing etc… However, I am home peaceful and relaxing. As you can see, I just now took this photo to show you how I look at this very moment. This coming week I will be taking proper precautions and having it removed. I do want to say that you have all been on my mind every step of the way and I am so thankful to each and every one of you for the love, support, prayers and most of all positive wishes. Big Ang isn’t going anywhere! This is a minor setback, but…
