Doubling Down with the Derricos star Marian, aka, GG Derrico is battling cancer during the new series of the TLC show, and as the fan favorite gets emotional during filming, fans are curious to know how she’s doing with her health in 2023.

GG is battling cancer in the latest series
The TLC star was first diagnosed with lung cancer in 2014, and seemed to be doing better as treatment slowed down the growth.
Unfortunately, in 2022, the cancerous tumor in her lung grew in size, as she once again began treatment to fight it.
In the latest episode of Doubling Down with the Derricos, the 73-year-old received some bad news, that her white blood cells were very low. This meant she was more likely to catch an infection, so needed to stay out of crowds.
The star then broke down in tears as she explained it wasn’t just the physical fight but also the “emotional and mental” fight.
