90 Day Fiancé star Mary Denucciõ has apologised after falsely claiming she had colon cancer, saying she ‘made a mistake’.
The 23-year-old reality TV star first claimed that she had cancer over the weekend, when her husband, Brandan Denucciõ, posted a link to an online fundraiser on his Instagram Story.
“I humble [sic] asking for your financial help for Mary’s surgery to remove her colon cancer: we need help not judgements,” he wrote alongside a photo of him, Mary and their daughter, Midnight, who was born back in August.
“Any amount will help Mary a lot and save her life.”

He later thanked fans for their support, saying his wife had already been admitted to hospital.
“She’s very strong and happy seeing all your sweet messages to her,” Brandan said.
“As you can see she lost her weight. But she’s strong. Her smiles make me not worry too much with her surgery.”

The fundraiser page – which has since been removed - called on fans to help raise money for Mary’s forthcoming medical costs.
She claimed she had been diagnosed with colon cancer on 17 February, saying in the description: “I don’t have financial support. I’m the only one working in the family and supporting my family.
“I hope you will help me any amount will help me a lot. Please don’t judge me I don’t want to die. I want to spend my whole life with my daughter.”

However, it’s turned out that Mary hasn’t been diagnosed with cancer after all, admitting she made a ‘mistake’.
Taking to her own Instagram Stories, she explained: “I posted saying I have colon cancer. I made a mistake and I’m just a human, I’m very sorry everyone.”
Mary continued: “When the doctor told me I have [a] colon issue I thought that means I have colon cancer.
“I got [an] anxiety attack and I thought I have colon cancer and posted it without thinking.

“It’s my fault and I’m very sorry about it. But please stop harassing me and wishing me to die. I’m just a human.”
The TV star said she was in ‘pain’, keeps ‘throwing up’ and feels ‘so weak’.
“The doctor says my liver is inflamed and I have [a] blood infection, UTI and hemorrhoids,” she said, adding that they were still waiting for ‘another laboratory test’ for her colon.

“Again I’m very sorry I made a mistake announcing I have colon cancer,” Mary wrote.
“I just thought I have colon cancer because [the] doctor said I have [an] issue with my colon and they need to check it.
“I’m very sorry I panicked and I got anxiety.”
