GG is battling cancer
During the Doubling Down with the Derricos season 4 trailer, Marian Derrico, AKA GG, is seen riding bikes and caring for her grandkids.
However, the TLC star is battling cancer during the show and breaks down at one point in the season.
Speaking to her friends, she explains that she has the option of continuing chemotherapy treatment. However, GG isn’t sure if she can carry on fighting the disease.
She says: “I just don’t think I can do this anymore.”
Her son, Deon, says to her: “Fight is all you know.”
Doubling Down with the Derricos star gets emotional
The hit TLC show then cuts to another tough element of GG’s life.
Deon says that his late brother may have had a son and that he has made contact with him and GG.
The Doubling Down with the Derricos star says: “My brother’s passing was hard, especially for GG.”
GG says that she feels she “failed” her late son “in so many areas.”
She adds that “meeting Amani” has given her a “new purpose,” before the camera cuts to her asking if he would like to do a DNA test.
Deon says: “If this young man is not family, it’s going to be devastating for her.”
