Thankfully, she seems to be in good spirits, opening up to fans about how an over-eight-month struggle to diagnose her issues ended with answers and surgery.
Dorken shared some photos on Instagram on Dec. 29 of herself in the hospital, undergoing procedures, and resting at home, beginning her update by saying, "First, Im doing well. My 8+ month diagnostic journey came to climax while I spent Christmas week in the hospital. ??."
She then talked about the many scans, tests and procedures she went through over the past months trying to figure out what was causing her pain, noting, "I had almost accepted my new reality. (Because 'they' told me to.)."

According to the actress, she ended up having to have emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder—which she said was in "reallyyy rough shape"—while Dorken also experienced jaundice, had to return to "remove a missed/lodged stone," and then endured pancreatitis, adding, "Thought I knew pain before.. nope. Now I do."
"We have answers & are healing, because I stood up for myself. It’s *sometimes* hard for healthcare providers to take you(me) seriously, when they look at your chart, see mental health conditions, run their tests, and tell you nothing is wrong- 'it’s your anxiety,'" Dorken said.
Many friends and fans commented their support for Dorken as they related to her struggles, sharing hope that she has a smooth recovery.
