The choreographer recently completed a year-long sentence for felony bankruptcy fraud, but previously left Residential Reentry Center in Long Beach, California, for an in April. The 10-hour long procedure revealed that Miller had , a type of cancer that affects white blood cells called lymphocytes.
"TIMES UP!!!! So is my sentence!!!" Miller wrote on this weekend. "Now I have to handle the aftermath/ treatment/ physical rehabilitation of 10 hour emergency spine surgery to remove a mass from strangling my spinal cord and the horrible severity of what that mass turned out to be!"

Siwa also shared a picture from her visit, captioning her post with a sweet message. "Got to see my favorite today!" . "Abby you have changed my life for forever, I am so thankful for everything you have done for me."
It remains unconfirmed whether Miller will ever return to "Dance Moms," which is currently led by former "Dancing With the Stars" pro Cheryl Burke. The 51-year-old still has two more scheduled chemotherapy treatments, reported last week.
“After the hospital, she’ll be going into a rehab facility, so everything is still up in the air,” a source told the publication. “Right now, they’re just focusing on her health.”
