Her bond with the TLC star broke after her mother rekindled a relationship with the man accused of molesting her as a child.
She has been estranged from June for many years – but did attend June’s wedding to Justin in January.
“All four of my girls walked me down to Justin and his mom walked him down the aisle,” June told People at the time.
Anna previously told The U.S. Sun that she has “no relationship” with June, who has “never apologized” for her past mistakes.
“You know, I’ve never had a conversation with her where she was like ‘Oh I’m sorry for what happened or, I’m sorry for this.
“It’s like she is always brushing everything off and like acting like everything is fine and nothing happened.”
When the news of Anna’s news was released, Mama June and Anna’s sisters are said to be “very hopeful” that she will recover.
They are all stepping up to help take care of Anna during her treatment.
THEIR COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP
June was just 15 when she gave birth to Anna, and while their relationship is complicated, it wasn’t always that way.
Anna explained once her mother rekindled a relationship with her alleged childhood sex abuser, Mark McDaniel, after his release from prison in 2014 – things changed between them.
She said: “We used to be really, really close, but all that stuff happened with her getting back with Mark, we really had distance after that.
“We haven’t talked really since then. I pushed myself away from her with that because it was like why would you do that kind of thing?”
Anna reunited with June days before the interview at her sister Lauryn’s baby shower.
While she isn’t close with June, it appears Anna remains in regular contact with her siblings.
