Kailyn Lowry Shares Good News: Javi Marroquin to Return From Deployment Ahead of Schedule!

It’s only been a few weeks since Javi Marroquin was deployed for a year of overseas duty with the US Air Force, but it seems that Kailyn Lowry has already received word that her husband will be returning home much sooner than expected. It was initially reported that Javi would be out of the country (in an undisclosed location) for at least a year, but now it seems he’ll be returning sometime in either September or October – and Kailyn is planning to welcome him back in style. Earlier this week, the 23-year-old mother of two shared a photo of a reservation at a Disney World resort. Now, Radar Online is reporting that the trip will serve as a welcome home to Javi .  “It’s for when Javi comes home,” a source tells the website. “He comes home way before they go.” “It’s hard for Kail, but I wouldn’t say she’s sad. They’ve been through this before. It doesn’t make it any easier on her, but she understands this is part of his job and how he provides for their family.” As recently as last month, it was widely rumored that Kailyn and Javi planned to breakup when he deployed, but now seems clear the couple is still going strong. Stable, happy  Teen Mom couples are certainly a welcome change of pace. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Cast: Before They Were Stars …

Angela "Big Ang" Raiola Talks Cancer Treatment, Reveals Chances of Survival

Back in April of 2015,  Mob Wives star Angela Raiola was diagnosed with throat cancer . That same month, she underwent surgery, and the tumor was successfully removed .  “Big Ang,” as she's known to fans, announced online that she was in complete remission, and she even scheduled a public appearance tour to celebrate. Sadly, just last month Raiola learned that her cancer had returned in a particularly aggressive form. In a public statement, Raiola's family revealed that the popular reality TV star is now fighting stage 4 cancer , and doctors have advised that she prepare for the worst.  “Chemotherapy was started January 5,” said Ang's sister, Janice Detore. “On January 26th the doctor reviewed her CT scan and informed us that the treatment was not working, and in fact one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change.” Today, Ang appeared on The Dr. Oz Show for her first interview since learning that the cancer had returned. She revealed that doctors have given her a 30 percent chance of survival, and that she's parted ways with her husband of six years, Neil Murphy, after he failed to “step up” during her treatment. Watch Big Ang talk about her illness and her decision to go it alone in the clip below:

Angela "Big Ang" Raiola: Fighting Stage 4 Cancer; Family Braces For the Worst

In April of last year, Mob Wives cast member  Angela “Big Ang” Raiola was diagnosed with throat cancer . The popular reality star  – who’s raspy voice has become one of her trademarks – underwent a surgery that was described as a “complete success” and quickly returned to making public appearances. Unfortunately, it now looks as though she was far from out of the woods at that time. Radar Online is reporting that Big Ang’s cancer has returned , and this time, the 55-year-old’s diagnosis is much worse. According to the site, Raiola is now suffering from stage four cancer, and chemotherapy doesn’t appear to be helping. “It’s serious,” says one insider. “She isn’t doing well right now.” Ang’s sister, Janice Detore, has set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for Raiola’s treatment . The family is close to reaching its $25,000 goal, but Detore’s description of her sister’s condition is far from encouraging: “As you know my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer,” she writes. “Chemotherapy was started January 5 th. On January 26th the doctor reviewed her CT scan and informed us that the treatment was not working, and in fact one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change.” Detore adds that Raiola’s “breathing is labored and the amount of pain she is having is by far more than she can handle.” As traditional treatments seem to be doing little to relieve Ang’s pain, Detore plans to use the donated funds to purchase cannabis oil and other alternative medicines. “Angela cannot function to work anymore,” Detore writes. “I’m not sure that it will work but I’m praying.” Ang has thanked fans for their support in a brief social media message, but her family says it may be several months before she’s able to resume her public appearance schedule.
