Soap opera star Kassie Wesley DePaiva disclosed to her fans on Thursday that she has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

"(I) have spent six of the last nine weeks in the hospital," the 55-year-old actress wrote on her blog. "I will continue treatment over the next three months. My prognosis is good, I will not likely need a stem cell/bone marrow transplant, and we expect a complete cure. I consider this just a bump in the road."
