Jeanette Lee Diagnosed With Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer
Jeanette Lee was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer, as reported by Yahoo! Sports.
The news is as shocking to the lady herself as it is to her fans.
Besides, Lee has already started her chemotherapy treatment. It was also reported that her cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and that she has to undergo quite a few surgeries.
In the past decade, life has not been easy for Lee. Her scoliosis, which she suffered since childhood, worsened in the last ten years. She had to undergo serious treatments and surgeries to treat the disease.
Due to her illness, Jeanette could not participate in any high-end events and games. It was the pain from scoliosis that led her cancer to spread undetected for such a long period of time.
Moreover, Lee’s friends and families have launched a GoFundMe page under her name. In case something happened to her, the money is to make sure that her daughters will be able to attend college.
