Abby Lee Miller, star of the reality TV show Dance Moms, has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after emergency surgery, according to reports. The 52-year-old was hospitalised with severe neck pain, which doctors initially believed was a spinal infection.
Dr Hooman M. Melamed, an orthopaedic spine surgeon at Cedar Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital, told People magazine: 'We're getting an oncologist involved and we have to figure out what the next steps are as far as chemotherapy or radiation or more spine surgery.'
Miller's diagnosis comes just weeks after she was released from prison and entered a halfway house in California. She had been serving a one-year-and-one-day sentence for fraud, after pleading guilty to 20 counts in June 2016.
Miller was indicted in October 2015 and began her sentence on July 12, 2017. She was released on March 27, 2018, and moved to a halfway house. Her recent hospitalisation also involved treatment for a thyroid condition.
