Janet (Jay) DeAngelis Age: 44
Medfield, Massachusetts
Type of Cancer: breast


Jay is my sister-in-law, but more a sister. She is the mother of my goddaughter and two great nephews. Jay was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39, and underwent a lumpectomy. Two years ago the cancer reappeared and she had to undergo a mastectomy and months of chemotherapy. She is doing great today. She has a great and liberated spirit as a result of her ordeal and is someone I greatly respect and admire. We are very fortunate to have her in our lives.
