Mary from 90 Day Fiancé sparked controversy with a GoFundMe campaign for cancer treatment.
The campaign was set up to help Mary cover her medical expenses, with a goal of raising $50,000.
Mary's cancer diagnosis and treatment costs have been a significant financial burden.
The campaign's goal was to help alleviate some of that burden, but it was met with skepticism by some.
Mary Diagnosed with Cancer
Mary was diagnosed with colon cancer on February 17, according to Brandan's Instagram Story.
The couple was seeking financial help to pay for Mary's surgery and shared a link to their Go Get Funding page.
Mary wrote on the page that she was frightened of having surgery and that she was the only one working in the family to support her family.
She also expressed her hope that people would help her with any amount, as she didn't want to die and wanted to spend her life with her daughter.
Brandan stated that any amount of help would be greatly appreciated and would save Mary's life.
The couple made their 90 Day Fiancé debut in season 5 of The Other Way, which aired in 2023, and welcomed their daughter Midnight in August 2023.
However, it was later revealed that Mary had not actually been diagnosed with cancer, but rather had been experiencing symptoms that might be signs of colon cancer, appendicitis, or a UTI.
She had visited a health center and talked with a nurse, who advised her to undergo further testing to get a proper diagnosis.
Mary was still in pain and the couple asked people to stop spreading fake news about her health.
Mary's Medical Condition
Mary's medical condition has been a topic of concern among 90 Day Fiancé fans, with various updates and claims being shared on social media.
Mary was initially reported to be dealing with abdominal pain, fever, and constant vomiting, according to her husband Brandan.
She was also described as being very energetic and smiling always while working hard to earn money for her daughter and family.
Brandan claimed that Mary's pain was not visible on social media, but she was struggling behind the scenes.
However, it was later revealed that Mary had been diagnosed with colon cancer, which required surgery.
A fundraising page was set up to help pay for the procedure, with Mary sharing a heartfelt plea for help.
But the couple later backtracked on the cancer claims, deleting the fundraising page and admitting that Mary had not been diagnosed with cancer after all.
Instead, she had been experiencing symptoms that might be signs of colon cancer, appendicitis, or a UTI, and was planning to undergo further testing.
Mary had visited a health center and talked with a nurse, who advised her to get a proper diagnosis.
She was still in pain and was admitted to a medical facility, where she was receiving treatment.
The couple had been receiving support from fans, but some people were skeptical about the sudden diagnosis and were asking for proof.
Brandan condemned the naysayers, explaining that Mary had been acting strong in front of her online followers to raise money for treatment and look after her family.
