However, Amanda can’t say anything until the show gets officially canceled or everything is aired.

There is already a lot of buzz about TLC not bringing in more seasons because Tammy wants to step back.

It is a type of cancer that is rare and aggressively develops in the stomach.

Amanda started the fundraiser for Katie with the help of her boyfriend, Leonardo, to reduce the burden of increasing medical bills.

One of Amanda’s fans commented on her post, “Prayers for strength so sorry cancer stinks.” Another one shared how cancer took their uncle last year.
Not only did Amanda ask for assistance during this bad phase, but Tammy also reposted the crowdfunding link to request support. She wanted friends and fans to help them to alleviate Katie’s health issues. She pleaded with her followers on her Instagram page to contribute whatever they could.
