This is copied from my link above..

According to the newest TV Guide, Barbara will end up getting the same cancer(oral cancer) that CZP had in real life, it was pretty much her idea to do the story, because she was going to bring it up to the producer of the show, but he pitched the idea to her before she even had the chance to do it.

It says that she will get the news on January 2, and pretty much she says that Barbara is all alone when she gets the news, she gets it after being banned from the baptism of her grandchild. She pretty much prays for help right after finding out, she said they were very hard scenes to tape.

There is no word on how the story will turn out at the end because of the writers strike.
