What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Ross Lynch’s mother Stormie
has shared some devastating news about her stage 3 cancer diagnosis as fans are rallying
to send their love and support to the family.
Throughout her childrens’ entire careers as television stars and musical artists, Stormie
Lynch has been the backstage force and a constant support as Ross, Rocky, Riker, Rydel and Ryland
live out their dreams.
And when heartbreak strikes this tight-knit family’s support of one another is stronger
than ever.
Monday Stormie took to Instagram in an emotional post to share with fans that she is suffering
from stage 3 uterine cancer.
She shared a series of photos featuring her family each taking turns driving her to doctors’
visits, writing, “Oh my where to begin.
On April 2nd, I found out I have stage 3 uterine cancer.
My heart was breaking to have to tell my family.
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to endure.”
Stormie went on to add QUOTE, “My sweet angels from heaven took turns taking me to
many many doctor appointments, 100 blood tests, blood transfusions, put in a port, and drive
me back and forth to Phoenix for treatment.
With COVID-19, no one was allowed to go with me.
I think it was the first time I have ever been alone.
I cried a lot under my mask.
I’m still pushing through trying to be strong so I can walk my girl down the aisle.”
Stormi finished her emotional post by sending prayers to anyone having to go through an
illness of any kind.
As many fans of the Lynch family may know, Rydel was recently engaged to her boyfriend
Capron Funk back in February after a year of dating.
Stormi and Rydel have an incredibly close relationship as she stated in her Instagram
post, that all she wants to do is be able to walk her down the aisle on her upcoming
wedding day.
Rydel took to Instagram yesterday to share a sweet tribute to Stormie, writing, “my
mama has been through hell and back and back and back again.
the strongest woman i know, so lucky to be her daughter.”
She went on to thank her friends and fiance for being such a constant support in her life,
as well as her dad and brothers for being the “best team.”
Ross also responded to Stormi’s post with the praying hands emoji, as well as her youngest
son Ryland, who wrote, “I love you so much mama.
You’re the strongest woman I know.
We got this.”
Ross’ Austin & Ally costar Laura Marano and his Sabrina costar Kiernan Shipka both
left sweet messages on Stormie’s post, sending love and urging her to stay strong.
Early Tuesday, Stormie shared another post after being overwhelmed by the love and well
wishes she received over the past 24 hours as the hashtag #StormieStrong began trending
on social media.
She shared a series of photos with Rydel, writing, “Oh my stars, I have so much gratitude.
I woke up to an amazing amount of love and prayers, I don’t know what to say!
I have been bawling like a big baby reading all your messages and seeing all your edits.
Thank you so much for making my world brighter!”
Stormie has not only been a major role model in her kids’ lives, but fans who would see
her at shows and backstage would always be welcomed with open arms by her.
One fan tweeted amid the devastating news QUOTE, “hearing that stormie has cancer
is like hearing one of my family members has cancer.
I truly pray for her & her family & hope that she gets better.
she has been nothing but sweet & kind to the r5/tde fandom. we've literally grown up with
them & i wish her a healthy recovery.”
Another user noticed that Ross’ painted nails were in support of Stormie, writing,
“The picture on the left was taken 7 years ago today and knowing now that Ross painted
his nails to match with Stormie's in May is even more heartbreakingly sweet.
I hope her treatments have been effective these past few months + she keeps safe and
beats this cancer.”
Based on her family’s and their fans’ reactions alone, it’s evident how much Stormie
means to the entire fanbase.
That said, we will continue to pray for Stormie and the Lynch family, and will be sure to
update you on her progress.
