Her spokesperson Howard Bragman reacted in a statement to Deadline.

“It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues,” he said.

“She is incredibly grateful to Debmar-Mercury, to Sherri and everybody else who has supported the show through this time,” he ontinued.

“She, more than anyone, understands the reality of syndicated television — you can’t go to the marketplace and sell a show that’s the Maybe Wendy Show. She understands why this decision was made from a business point of view, and she has been assured by Debmar-Mercury that should her health get to a point where she can host again and should her desire be that she hosts again that she would be back on TV at that time.”

She also made some rare comments about her health in a new video.
