Yahoo News: In February 2018, Janeen James was diagnosed with breast cancer, but throughout her journey she never lost her optimistic spirit.
"I've always been a positive person, so I don't think having cancer changed my perspective because I've always had a good perspective on life," said the 62-year-old resident of Johnstown's Walnut Grove section. "My cup has always been half-full. When I was diagnosed, that attitude that I already had certainly helped me through those tough times."
James felt a lump in her right breast while doing a self-examination, but kept putting off going to see a doctor. As time went on, the area became tender, and she also had some tenderness under her arm telling her that something was not right.
