AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes and husband Gregg Leakes have something to celebrate. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has taken to social media to announce that her husband, who has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, has completed his 6-month chemotherapy.
Sharing an emotional video of Gregg banging on a gong at the hospital, NeNe wrote in the caption, "This all started May 5th 2018...It's been a long emotional ride for our entire family! Listen up American.....TODAY my husband @greggleakes has completed 6 months of chemotherapy." The Swagg Boutique owner adds, "Awesome job hunni! I’m so happy for you and the strength you showed during this difficult time in your life!"
NeNe went on thanking "all of our family, friends, fans, doctors and nurses who lifted us up in constant prayer, sent recipes, doctors info, gave advice and gifts! We love you."
In another video that the reality star posted, Gregg could also be seen getting emotional while hugging some hospital staff.
Throughout season 11 of "RHOA", the pair opened up about Leakes' battle with cancer. They also showed their personal struggles with NeNe saying that it was hard to be a care-taker for Gregg whom she dubbed "mean, grouchy and evil."
Back in January, Gregg posted a lengthy Instagram post in which he apologized to his wife for giving her a hard time. "We always hurt the ones we Love. Because they allow us to hurt them rather than snap back," he said.
"I'm tired of hurting my wife, who is only trying to take good care of me and wants only the best for me too. She deserves much more for her hard efforts and tireless hours spent on me," he continued. "I Pray to God to get it together..She's done NO wrong…this is ALL on me......Cancer WILL change your Life..."
