In September, reports said that Nelson was “terminally ill” with lung cancer and didn’t have long to live. 

“There are not many options [for Debbie],” a source told In Touch. “She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time left.”

The insider also said that Eminem, 52, was supporting his mom financially despite not speaking to her for “years.”

“People around her aren’t even sure if Eminem is even aware of what is happening to his mother,” said the source. “He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk. It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.”

Nelson was only 18 years old when she gave birth to Eminem (born Marshall Bruce Mathers III) in October 1972. She had Eminem with her high school sweetheart, Marshall Bruce Mathers, whom she married in 1970. They got divorced after Eminem’s birth.

The relationship between Eminem and Nelson was always up and down. In 1999, Nelson sued Eminem for defamation over the lyrics of his debut album “The Slim Shady LP.”
