Lee will never forget the doctor's words: I'm sorry, but I don’t believe you’re ever going to go into remission.
INDIANAPOLIS -- All those brutal chemo treatments were finished and her Stage 4 ovarian cancer was gone. Jeanette Lee wanted it to be gone. It had to be gone. That's what she told herself in those deep, sometimes dark, moments of thought that only a person battling cancer can understand.that premieres Tuesday night.
It's been nearly two years since Lee was diagnosed with ovarian cancer that had metastasized to other parts of her body. It's been a tough two years. As she fought cancer, ESPN followed the billiards legend for its latest installment of the network's"30 For 30" series. But it did. And Lee decided to try her hand at pool. She practiced -- and practiced some more -- and she became one of the biggest superstars to take a cue stick and ricochet a ball into a pocket.
But in early 2021 at the age of 49, a seemingly invincible Lee was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. The diagnosis was grim. Lee posted an update to her cancer fight earlier this year, saying she has newfound hope. People said that Lee's look, her attitude, her dress, wasn't good for the women's tour. Instead,"she became a role model for no-holds-barred Asian American womanhood," the film says.
At the height of her fame, Lee was an icon who could nab sponsorships that had nothing to do with billiards, chalk or cues -- including a 7-year deal with Bass Pro Shops. She appeared on numerous national TV shows, including Good Morning America, Crook & Chase and Hard Copy. She had a part in the Walt Disney film, The Other Sister, directed by Garry Marshall.
