Update: 'Mob Wives' Big Ang's throat tumor is cancerous
"Mob Wives" star Big Ang is currently in the hospital after complaining of pain in her neck ... and doctors have since discovered a tumor in her throat the size of a lemon.
According to our sources, earlier this week Ang was admitted to a Staten Island hospital where doctors will soon perform surgery to remove the tumor. We're told it is not yet known whether the tumor is cancerous.
Ang was scheduled to begin shooting for a different reality show, other than "Mob Wives," when she began experiencing the pain.
She better not die... tumors are no joke... I mean this year is already turning out to be the year of reality star deaths. Real from VH1, America's Next Top model chick, Lindsay from Bad Girls club: Chicago just passed away today as well. I hope they successfully remove it.
"Mob Wives" star Big Ang received the news she was dreading -- the tumor on her throat is malignant.
Ang’s sister, Janine Detore, tells TMZ the tumor is on Ang's voicebox and her voice is deteriorating as a result. She says doctors determined the lemon-sized growth was cancerous after looking at it with a scope and running blood tests.
Janine says the family is awaiting results of another test to determine if the cancer has spread
