My name is Mary Ann Weiss. On August 16, 1999, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. IBC is often undetected by mammogram and ultrasound, and there is usually no lump that can be felt. It is the most aggressive form of breast cancer and also the most often misdiagnosed. To learn more about IBC, and it's unusual symptoms, please click here to access IBC Support.
At the time of my diagnosis, my oncologist told me, "This is a very aggressive cancer; we will beat it by treating it as aggressively as the law allows!" Together we beat the "beast" back. I am now NED (no evidence of disease) and grateful for every day of my life. Treatment did leave me with some permanent side effects: physical problems (which I refuse to whine about), and certain disabling memory deficits. My cancer "souvenirs" ended my ability to work at most jobs... My need for food and shelter continued... Thus, I took what I COULD do, combined it with what I wanted to do, and VOILA! I created CJ Hats.
