Jann's fight against breast cancer started in 2008. A lumpectomy was performed to remove the cancer. Then, in May of 2010, she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Her treatment included bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy. In February of 2011, more devasting news was delivered. Jann had developed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia as a result of the chemotherapy treatment in 2010. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Once the chemotherapy rids her blood of cancer cells, she will continue on her fighting journey with a bone marrow transplant.
