Breast cancer survivor...and doing just fine, thank you!

About Me

I'm Pam, and through the grace of God and some great doctors, I beat stage III breast cancer. I endured a bilateral mastectomy, lymphectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, baldness, pain...O.K., now take a look at my profile picture...THAT'S ME TODAY, six years later!!!

So what am I doing after all of that? I am the busy, proud owner of Flutterby Caps, a company that I started to help raise funds that will help others battle many forms of cancer. I hand-craft comfy knit survivor caps and scarves and I also have a line of beautiful, hand-decorated sun hats that are one-of-a-kind!

For every item that you buy from Flutterby Caps, I donate a portion back to the American Cancer Society to help find a cure for all types of cancer. You see, my family has been touched by skin cancer, brain cancer, and kidney cancer. Just in the past five years there have been remarkable breakthroughs in the treatment of breast cancer WITH HIGHER SURVIVOR RATES TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE! We can beat this together!
