"When people are sick, is it normal for them to be mean?"

DEALING WITH CANCER

NeNe is facing a common problem for the family and caregivers of cancer patients Cancer victims often become angry, and lash out at those closest to them, the people they love the most.

"It's weird because you're trying to help the sick person, but they don't want your help. And everybody around thinks I'm bad."

Despite her sadness, NeNe still made a moving speech to the bride and groom:

"May you live each day like it's your first, and each night like it's your last. Never go to bed angry. Stay up and fight all night. The secret to a happy marriage remains a secret, but to me, I believe that respect and communication is the key to a happy marriage."

NeNe has a long fight ahead of her, but she has shown, time and time again, that she is a strong woman who never gives up. Gregg Leakes is lucky to have such a woman fighting by his side for his life.
