Abby Lee Miller has a big fight ahead of her, because her recent health struggles are believed to be related to cancer ... TMZ has learned.
A rep for Miller's doctor, Dr. Hooman Melamed, tells us ... her emergency back surgery Tuesday was to alleviate what he thought was an infection in her spine, but after doing some tests -- he now believes she is suffering from Burkitt Lymphoma ... a form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
We're told further testing is needed to confirm the cancer, but she should know for sure in the next day or 2. Regardless, Miller's doc says she'll need another spinal surgery, but is resting comfortably after her first operation.
When we last saw Abby ... she was leaving the halfway house where she is serving the rest of her sentence for fraud to get medical treatment. She was visibly upset and appeared to be in pain.

It looks like Lamar Odom could be gearing up for a return to the hardwood ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
No, Lamar ain't crushin' it on the court ... but it's pretty clear the ex-Lakers star was getting back in game shape at the Gold's Gym in Glendale, L.A. earlier this week.
In the video, Odom hits the weights like a boss -- pumping out sets on his bis, tris and shoulders under the close watch of an apparent personal trainer.
Yeah, we know it ain't exactly "Rocky" ... but it's a great sign considering we've only really seen Lamar partying since he left rehab.
Remember -- L.O. first expressed interest in joining the Cube's BIG3 league last summer ... and just a couple months ago, told us he wanted in THIS SEASON to honor his late friend, Rasual Butler.

We got Corey -- with wife Courtney in tow -- leaving the premiere of "Corbin Nash" Monday night at the Ricardo Montalban Theatre in Hollywood ... and we ask him how he's feeling after last month's bizarre "stabbing" episode.
As we reported ... Corey said someone jabbed him with a sharp object either with the tip of a knife or a syringe. He claimed the motive could've been retaliation for his pedophilia accusations involving Hollywood.
In any event ... the puncture was small and drew a tiny bit of blood but it was more than enough for Corey to hire some muscle and get his documentary on the fast track.
All hospital tests came back negative ... but Corey still thinks there's a chance poison will drop him.
