“No challenge you can’t face and come back stronger,” she continued. “I love you! #breastcancerawareness”

In her TikTok comments, Alix—who recently competed on Dancing With the Stars—shared that they found out about her mom’s diagnosis “halfway through the season” and yet Alisa “still showed up every week” to support her daughter.

As Alisa’s health journey continues, the Earles are receiving a lot of well-wishes from fans and friends on social media.

“Sending love and prayers for your mom sis,” Paris Hilton commented on Alix’s TikTok, while Heidi Montag wrote, “Praying for you, your family, and especially your mama.”

In recent days, Alix has alluded to her mom’s health struggles, sharing in a TikTok video that Alisa was in the hospital for an operation.

“Back home in Jersey,” Alix noted. “I may or may not talk more about this this week. I just want to see how everything goes and, first of all, just be there for her.”

“It’s also something that, during my travels, I had a few cries,” the influencer noted after flying to four different countries in a span of a few days. “But her boyfriend and my sister have been with her this morning.”

“So, we’re gonna be picking her up tomorrow morning from the hospital,” Alix added, “because we are gonna be taking care of her.”
