Sadly, during December of 2005, Chantel was faced with some tragic and disturbing news. She was diagnosed with OVARIAN CANCER and was informed that a surgical procedure would be needed to remove the cancerous tumor. After being hospitalized for two weeks upon a successful surgery, she began her recovery stage for the next two months. Unfortunately less than a month later in January of 2006, Chantel witnessed the stabbing death of her longtime friend and companion in his own home.
