Mama June Shannon’s daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s treatment is “working” amid her cancer battle.
The 28-year-old gave her Instagram followers a health update on Thursday as she undergoes her third round of chemotherapy.
“this [photo is from] yesterday,” she captioned a silly selfie with her boyfriend, Eldridge Toney. “it was pretty good day but … Cracker Barrel was good going down but not up 😂.
“but over all it’s going good and chemo is working we come to find,” Cardwell continued. “so things are looking good 😇😁😁🙏.”
News broke in March that the former reality star is battling stage 4 adrenal carcinoma.
Earlier this month, Shannon spoke exclusively to Page Six about the uncertainty surrounding her eldest child’s future when faced with such a “very rare” disease.

“I’m bluntly honest about people with this: We don’t know what the life expectancy is,” the “Mama June: Family in Crisis Star” star explained.
“Only one in 1 million people get it,” she noted, going on to say that while “only a few doctors … treat it,” Cardwell has been undergoing “aggressive” chemo with a “cancer specialist” since her February diagnosis.
After clarifying that Cardwell has “lost all her hair,” Shannon added, “If [this treatment is] not helping, then we go back to the drawing board, and we don’t know what the next step is.”
The “Mama June: From Hot to Not” alum praised her other three daughters — Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, 26, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, 23, and Alanna “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 17 — for being there for Cardwell during her struggles.
“She’s close to the hospital in case anything happens,” Shannon explained. “Me, Pumpkin or Alanna come up one day [to visit], then Jessica.”
Cardwell is the mother of two daughters herself, sharing Kaitlyn, 10, and Kylee, 7, with her ex-husband, Michael Cardwell.
She has been in a relationship with Toney since 2017.
