'Black Widow' Jeanette Lee one year after Stage 4 cancer diagnosis: 'Fight the good fight'

Jeanette Lee, the woman who earned the nickname Black Widow because, at the pool table, she was known to "eat her opponents alive," sat in a New York hospital bed, turned on Facebook live and gave 180,000 people who hung on her every word an update.

January 2022, she said, has been a rough start for a New Year. But not nearly as rough as the start of 2021.

At this time last year, the 50-year-old mother of three daughters was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. The disease ravaged her body so brutally, friends and family were fearful she had just months to live.
