Mob Wives star Big Ang, was hospitalized in New York City after complaining of serious neck pain. Reportedly doctors found a large tumor in her throat. It is unknown at this time if the tumor is cancerous but the growth is massive! On March 31, Ang made a public appearance in which she wore a turtleneck and fur coat, fully covering her throat.  It is known that Big Ang is a heavy smoker, and loves her cigars. But it has not been stated whether or not that is the cause of the tumor.

Ang was admitted to a Staten Island hospital where she’s expected to have removal surgery soon.

“I [quit] every year for like two months and then I go back,” she said. “I don’t want to smoke, but I just can’t help it. Now, they give you this medicine and I don’t like to take medicine. They want to give you this stuff — they say it gives you crazy nightmares. I don’t need that. I’ll just smoke.”
