From the Chemo Chicks website: Living with cancer will change your life and the lives of your family and friends. Your cancer diagnosis becomes a point of reference. You hear yourself saying, "Before I knew I had cancer…" and "After I found out I had cancer…" and the like. We have all heard these statements. Some women take their experience and set examples; inspiring those around her. One such woman is our Jana Rosenblatt aka Ultra Chick!
A fourth stage ovarian cancer diagnosis, while running a successful interior design business, would have stopped anyone - not Jana. In typical Jana fashion, she pounced on the internet, asked a million questions, took advantage of every available resource and cancer support program she could find. All the while, dashing around Los Angeles looking for stylish head coverings, wardrobe alternatives, and make-up to replace her missing eyebrows.
What she found was very disappointing. Even a highly educated woman, with a MFA from NYU in Design for Theater and Film, was finding it very difficult to purchase what she really wanted. As any professional women would, she needed to look presentable and comfortable with her appearance while coping privately with her health. Out of necessity, she began creating, designing, modifying and sourcing alternatives for herself. The reaction was overwhelming. Our eyebrow-missing-bald-on-top- sliced-across-the-middle Jana looked fabulous!
