She will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
Lee announced the procedure on her Facebook page, where she has regularly been updating fans with her progress.
"I did my very best to avoid this (when I tell you I did everything, I mean everything — modern, Eastern and holistic) but infection is an incredible monster," she explained.
"I am a long way from where I was and a long way from where I need to be, but at this point I understand that right now I just need to complete this unexpected phase of a tough journey."
