GG Derrico was first diagnosed with lung cancer in 2014 and was doing better following treatment. Unfortunately, in 2022, the cancer spread and grew in size, following which she again began her treatment.

While the treatment was going well, in the recent episodes of Doubling Down with the Derricos, GG Derrico received some bad news from her doctor. It was found that her white blood cells were very low, which could increase her chances of catching infections. Doctors recommended that she stay out of crowds and take proper rest.

The news was devastating, and fans immediately began offering prayers for GG’s speedy recovery. The TLC’s post on Instagram shows GG breaking down and explaining how all that is not just taking a toll on her physical health but affecting her mental health as well.

After seeing his mother breakdown, Deon Derrico confessed to the producers:

"I am going to be an absolute wreck if anything happens to my mother. But I absolutely have to put on a brave face for her, and I have to put on a brave face for my children."

He also added:

"I keep saying to her, Ma, its okay, you are gonna get through this. But hell, I’m even thinking like, What now?"
