About

The Elysia Skye Breast Cancer Organization was started in July 2008 by breast cancer survivor Elysia Skye.  This is a non-profit, designed to facilitate creative projects by cancer survivors for the purposes of healing, education and laughter.  This is also a networking group to share and exchange personal stories, medical referrals and healing techniques, as well as a forum for people under 40 affected by cancer to find out they are not alone.


Elysia Skye was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer her right breast & auxillary lymphnodes shortly after her 24th birthday.  She underwent a double mastectomy, 18 weeks of intravenous chemotherapy, 5 1/2 weeks of radiation and  reconstructive surgeries (expanders, silicone implants, skin grafted nipples and two fat graftings).  No fun? THINK AGAIN!

As her hair fell out, she had an awesome mohawk for a few days! And despite not being able to work full time, she was constantly surrounded by her amazing friends and family and laughing more than she ever had, which is a better cure for cancer than any oncologist could recommend!

Elysia documented her experience through her novel, “I Got My Tits Done In Beverly HIlls.”  She also made a 15 minute short film called “Lose Weight With Cancer” to encourage laughter during trauma and teach other young people about the effects of stress and cancer.

All projects and publications are funded through donations, fundraisers and merch sales.  For more information, please enjoy the site and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Thank you so much for your help and remember,

DIE FROM LAUGHING, NOT FROM CANCER!
