Angie As A Cancer Survivor
In the early 2000s, Angie started noticing fresh bruises and experiencing body weakness. She ascribed it to alterations in her nutrition and fitness regime. But the symptoms persisted and was even getting worse that she had to be hospitalized.

All through the time Angie was battling cancer, Dave Bautista was there for her as he supported her all the way. He even used the opportunity to raise funds for patients with ovarian cancer. Angie also worked with the OCRA (Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance) to raise funds using her popularity.
Angie was able to overcome cancer and heal completely, so she kept using her platform to share awareness and raise funds for ovarian cancer patients.
When she was explaining her cancer experience, Angie said that people may feel that cancer patients have a certain look, but cancer can also affect even those who are physically fit.
