The diagnosis came on April 2, she said in the video. She said the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes.
St. James is set to have a double mastectomy that will determine her method of treatment.
She was set to begin work as an assistant vice president of communications with HCA Healthcare of North Texas on April 6 after 25 years in broadcast journalism.
