In June, the reality star revealed that Gregg Leakes was battling stage 3 colon cancer. Stage 3 cancer is disease that has spread deeply into nearby tissue and may also have spread to the lymph nodes, according to Cancer.net.
Sunday’s episode is not the first time that NeNe Leakes has hinted at the difficulties of being a caregiver – an opinion that has drawn criticisms from the public.

I’m going crazy over here, Gregg is wearing me out!’ I am not good at this s—! I would rather hire somebody. Gregg doesn’t want me to hire somebody, but I’m just not good. I’m not good at fluffing the pillow; I’m good at buying the pillow.”
