Former ‘Dance Moms’ Star Abby Lee Miller Shares Wheelchair Picture Amid Cancer Battle
She's still finding time to soak up the sun! Former Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller has been in the hospital for nearly three months now as she is currently undergoing treatment in her battle with cancer. Back in April, Abby was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma — which is a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma — and it seems like she's been feel a lot better since her most recent spinal surgery because she's been able to spend some time outside getting a sun tan while laying in her wheelchair.
"It’s lit in LA! I have everything I need! Well almost, hey there [Tiffany Haddish], where’s your pool boy?" the 51-year-old wrote in the caption of the photo, which looks like it was taken in a courtyard of a hospital. She also made a joke, mentioning Girls Trip actress Tiffany Haddish's recent Groupon commericial where she is laying poolside, sun bathing while chatting up a cute pool boy.
Even though Abby seemed to be in great spirits, fans took to the comments to express how sad they were to see Abby in a wheelchair, which many took as a sign that she is having trouble walking. "Sorry [you] can’t walk Abby, prayers," one fan wrote, while another asked, "Will Abby ever be able to walk again?"
Since Abby is known as the owner of the Abby Lee Miller Dance Company (ALDC) which is featured on the hit Lifetime series Dance Moms, it would be absolutely heartbreaking for fans if she could not walk or dance again.
But even though Abby was paralyzed from the neck down as a result of her cancer, she has had various spinal surgeries and received treatment and it seems like there might be hope that she will regain mobility in her legs. In a video clip posted to her Instagram earlier this week, Abby was able to tap her heels together, which is a great sign.
