“It’s in my breast bone; it’s in my hip bones; this backbone that’s attached to your hip bone, it’s back there,” she added. “It’s half of my liver. It’s in the lymph nodes of my colon and the lymph nodes in my lungs. I have another tumor in my head.”

Mackenzie’s mom also, unfortunately, revealed that she now has ten tumors in her brain. “I have a tumor the size of an orange in my right lung that was wrapped around my windpipe,” she said. She added that she has countless ‘“tiny” tumors in her lungs — 40 on one side alone and they’ve given up counting on the other side.
