Cat Janice Suffered From Cancer

According to People Magazine, Cat Janice's cancer journey began in November 2021. As she told her supporters on TikTok, she felt a lump in her neck; at first, she didn't mind it. A year later, she realized that it was not going away.

That was the time when she sought medical advice, and it was later determined to be a sarcoma, a rare malignant tumor.

Unfortunately, in June 2023, the singer's cancer had returned, and she broke the news once again to her followers.

Earlier this year, the musician entered hospice as she had a hard time breathing in the ICU. By then, she had transferred all her songs to her son's name so that the proceeds would go directly to him.

She was able to drop a track titled "Dance You Outta My Head," and she decided to share it with her followers.

"I just wanted to put out something fun and positive... My art is all I have to leave behind," she added.
