As Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's cancer grows worse, Mama June Shannon is making sure that her daughter's final days will be comfortable.

On the June 21 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Anna's family members rallied around her after new scans showed that her immunotherapy and radiation treatments had failed and her tumors were still growing.

With her health rapidly deteriorating, Mama June and her daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efrid put their financial differences aside to honor Anna's wishes to have the entire family by her side. Despite their best efforts, Anna's condition took a turn for the worst and she moved in with Mama June.

"I know that Anna's biggest fear is going to sleep at night and passing away in her sleep," the Shannon family matriarch told cameras, sharing that she and her husband Justin Stroud stayed at Anna's home past midnight so she wouldn't be alone. "Throughout the night, Anna was calling me, panicking, messaging the doctors. She hadn't slept in days."

"[Her husband] Eldridge brought her to my house at like, three o'clock this morning with her and the girls," she recalled. "She wanted me first thing this morning to call hospice, and that's what I did."

"I moved mountains to get the doctors to finally sign off on hospice and I think that was the best decision that she made," Mama June added.

While the reality star acknowledges that "some people" may think "she's giving up," Mama June explained that Anna knew that "her body is tired" and her last wish is to "live out the rest of her days with her family."

"There's noise, you know, it's what Anna wanted. She wanted to be around family, and we're giving her what she wants, and that's how it's gonna be," she continued.
