"Mob Wives" Star Big Ang Left Her Husband When She Was Stricken With Stage 4 Cancer

Mob Wives star Angela "Big Ang" Raiola dropped a major bombshell on The Dr. Oz Show on Tuesday when she revealed that she had left her husband, Neil Murphy , while suffering from stage 4 cancer. According to People, Big Ang said her husband wasn't supportive during her illness.

"I felt like he never stepped up to the plate, so I was done with it," the reality star said. "Now, it's too late. I would rather be by myself. I would rather be alone."

But the 55-year-old Ang has not been alone -- her two children, grandchildren, siblings and other family members have stood by her.

Her sister, Janine Detore, has taken her to all of her doctor appointments and even created a GoFundMe Page for her Ang. 

MStars News previously learned that Ang was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer. After harsh chemotherapy treatments seemed to be not working Ang has decided to try a different route using cannabis oil.

Ang admitted that she battle with depression at times and said her family was the her strength. "I try to stay positive. I look at my kids and my grandchildren and I know how much they need me," she said. "Sometimes I feel I'm gonna be fine, and sometimes I just don't think I am."

Big Ang also revealed that her chances of living were slim. "It's shocking what happened," she explained. "First I thought I was cancer-free. I was gonna have a big celebration ... and then a month later I was stage 4."

Last year doctors removed a tumor from her lung, and Raiola thought it was a miracle to learn that she had been "cancer-free."

She told the audience, "They say you're cancer-free, you beat it twice, what's the odds?" the reality star said. "I'm like, oh God, I'm a lucky person."

But a follow-up appointment in December changed everything; the cancer had returned. "I was completely devastated. I couldn't hear what they were saying. ... I feel like I went deaf," Big Ang said through tears. "I was like, oh, this is going too fast for me. Now I'm just hysterical."
