She also made a "Cancer Sucks" button which was a huge hit at the hospital.

Diagnosed with breast cancer at age 38, young mother and Portland, Maine television journalist Ann Murray Paige turned the camera on herself, setting up a video camera in her bedroom to give an unvarnished account of her triumphant nine month battle. Made in Maine with an all-Maine crew, THE BREAST CANCER DIARIES is a truthful, moving and often genuinely funny documentary recoding of her remarkable and ultimately inspiring struggle.
