"I'm reading what you guys are saying," Lee said. Lee got emotional and philosophical as she spoke to fans, who were sending messages during the video. It all matters and helps, Lee said, as she keeps pushing forward. "And all my fans out there who have also been sending prayers - all that matters."
"I'm so thankful for having an incredible family and friends, support system that have been out there," she said. But that really wasn't anything to dwell on, she said. Ten days after surgery, Lee shot the Facebook video, commenting about how she didn't like the way her black hair was growing back after she lost it due to cancer treatments. Jeanette Lee lived in Mooresville at the height of her pool playing fame. Lee was scheduled for emergency back surgery.
The weakness and imbalance Lee was having were due to the stenosis. There, she was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis - which, according to the Mayo Clinic, is "a narrowing of the spaces within the spine which can put pressure on nerves that travel through the spine." It was really scary and it was out of control," Lee said. Lee was having difficulty thinking, her speech was worsening, she was extremely fatigued and she was in pain. "Whatever I tried to put in my hand, I could not hold on to it." "I was dropping things all the time, dropping a fork, dropping a cup, dropping a pen, a cane," she said. She knew what she wanted to say but the words wouldn't come out. While at her friends' home in New York, Lee said, she knew something was seriously wrong. She was released and told to follow up with her doctor. Lee was rushed to the emergency room where scans and MRIs ruled out anything serious. "And I fell headfirst down the stairwell, the steep stairwell of this big motor home," she said. Jeanette Lee told Facebook fans she is often tired but tries to make the most of every day.

When the driver slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the car, Lee was flipped backward. About that time, a car veered into the motor home's lane. On the ride there, Lee (who said she has a rule that you only stand up in the vehicle if it's urgent ) walked up to tell the driver something. "And just visit old friends and family, people that I haven't spent a lot of time with." "When we got the news of cancer, I started talking to my sister who lives in Hong Kong and (we) thought it would be good for us to spend some time in New York," she said. She was headed on a month-long trip of a lifetime. It was New Year's Eve when Lee started on her trek to New York City in a motor home. Yet, she said, it was one of her scariest health battles yet. I mean, it's not been easy."īut what put Lee in that Stony Brook, New York, hospital this month had nothing to do with cancer. "I want to do the best I can with what I have and I want to feel blessed and that's the way that I feel. "You know, you've just got to go for it and I want to enjoy my life," said Lee. So when it comes to her cancer, which has a 17% five-year survival rate, Lee is not focusing on the statistics.
