Last week, Miller, 53, reflected on her healthon the one-year anniversary of her emergency spinal surgery, which eventually resulted in her being diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Alongside a photo of her spinal surgery scar, Miller opened up about her journey and bashed some of the doctors that initially treated her.
“One year ago today ~ I underwent emergency surgery for an infection in my spine,” she wrote. “This mass/tumor choking my spinal cord turned out to be Burkitt lymphoma. I enduredten rounds of chemo therapy(each lasting 6 days with 4 24hr bags pumping poison into my body ending with a spinal tap in 3 spots, plus another shot of chemo into my tailbone area up the spinal cord around my brain cavity) ten times! Another spine surgery was needed & I have one more still to go.”
“I struggled thru months of physical therapy to learn to sit up again, to crawl andmaybe with a miracle someday I’ll walk,” she continued. “Why didn’t the ER Doctors on duty do their jobs? I came in twice with the same symptoms? Why didn’t somebody listen to me, the patient? I finally found the right team that’s why I lived to tell my story, I have a lot to say! Thank you to all wonderful top notch professionals who continue to help me heal. For those who missed it, misdiagnosed me, and the so called federal ‘doctor’ who took me off medication cold turkey and the other ER ‘doctor Hollywood’ who told me to go home and take it easy for 10 days — STOP practicing! Please.”
In April 2018, after undergoing the emergency surgery for what was initially thought to bea spinal infection, the reality star was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.
Since then, Miller has been receiving chemotherapy anddocumenting her journeyon social media.
Before her health crisis, Miller had been living in a halfway house following her 366-day sentence for bankruptcy fraud at the Victorville Federal Correctional Institution in California. She wasreleased from prisonin March 2018.
In thetrailerfor the upcoming season ofDance Moms,Miller opened up about her cancer battle.
“I need to get back to teaching and I need to get back to screaming at children,” she continued. “I need to get back to my roots. I’m going to take these kids right back to the turf.”
