You guys remember Dance Moms, right? It was the reality tv show on Lifetime that followed the dancing school ran by dance instructor Abby Lee Miller. Unfortunately back in April, Abby was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. The 51-year-old has been chronicling her day by day trials and triumphs to keep everyone abreast of what’s going on. Although Miller appears to have the most positive outlook, close sources to the former dance instructor claim that Abby may be dependent on her wheelchair forever.
Here’s more from E News.
“She has been open about her diagnosis with her close friends who are in awe of Abby Lee’s fighting spirit,” the insider shared. “Her inner circle is rallying around her with support and regular visits to the Dance Moms star.”
Since her release from prison in March, the star has publicly battled with the illness and plans to make her return to TV. According to the source, “This entire situation is being documented on camera and will be a focal point on Abby Lee’s upcoming televised cancer special.”
Then, after another emergency surgery, the Abby told her followers, “After another 2 hour MRI this morning, the pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery! Ugh! I’m in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok, just hiccups in my plans!”
In the subsequent weeks, the reality star shared a photo of the 52 staples in her back.
Since then, the Dance Moms star has undergone five rounds of chemo and continues to stay in the hospital. Friends and fellow Dance Moms stars have been visiting the instructor at her bedside, which brought joy to her during this difficult time. “Thanks so much for taking the time to see me, laughter is the best medicine,” the 51-year-old said on Instagram.
Yesterday, Abby got out of the hospital for a round of shopping after “13 long painful months.” On Instagram she joked, “For a lifelong shopper like me that’s absolute torture!””
We have no doubt that our girl will not only walk again, but she will dance again fo sho. This woman is a warrior, and having a positive attitude is more than half of the battle.
Happy healing Ms. Miller!
