Mama June and Pumpkin Open Up About Anna Cardwell's Heartbreaking Final Days Battling Cancer (Exclusive)

Mama June and Pumpkin told ET all about Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell's heartbreaking final days.

While Anna's immediate family was there through it all, she opted to keep the seriousness of her condition private from others because "she didn't want sympathy," Alana said.
