The GMA favorite has been missing from her regular slot on the popular ABC show all week but only revealed the diagnosis on Thursday afternoon.

Amy shared the news with fans
"Have to say I miss you so much on GMA and GMA3," replied one follower. Another added: "Please don't leave GMA3!" as one expressed concern for Amy and her family, writing: "Omg Amy, hope you and your family are ok, missing you a lot on GMA3."
At the time, Amy replied: "We are all ok. Thank you."
As well as balancing her work and social life, the star is a doting mom to two daughters, Ava, 19, and Annie, 17, who she shares with ex-husband Tim McIntosh.
She said she is getting stronger daily
The journalist is also a stepmom to her husband Andrew Shue's three sons. Amy and Andrew's children were between the ages of three and 13 when they first got together, and the pair wanted to ensure that the change in their lives was positive.
