According the site, in addition to removing the tumor, doctors also removed the reality star's lymph nodes as a precaution and Ang has been instructed not to speak for three days and after that her voice will return to normal.

"To all my sisters family friends fans & well wishers my sister @biggangvh1 had a extremely long nerve racking surgery today she's now in recovery resting I wanna thank each & everyone of you for reaching out to us and praying for her & my family today," she captioned the photo.

Enstars reported that Ang was transported to a Staten Island hospital after complaining of pain in her neck. As of now it's unsure if the cancer has spread to any other parts of her body, and her family is still waiting for the PET scan results.
