The Elysia Skye Breast Cancer Organization was started in July 2008 by breast cancer survivor, Elysia Skye. We are creating a global community, working towards a decrease in the risk of cancer through PREVENTION. This means education, empowerment and an understanding of the physical effect of a positive perspective. Our mission is to educate young women and men on cancer prevention, to raise awareness about cancer in women under 40 and to share a message of love, laughter and gratitude during trauma and illness. We also raise funds and act as a donation platform for those affected by cancer at any age.

Hello amazing and supportive community! One of the main things we teach through this non-profit is that stress, fear, worry, anger and any “negative” emotion, if not properly dealt with, will lead to illness. I am raising money for Lilian Lemer to keep her alive and well during a time of crisis and trauma. If we can relieve one of the many terrible things she is facing with the loss of her daughter, then we have helped save someone’s life.
Here is a little teaser from my book…enjoy!
When I started putting this book together, I was twenty-four years old. Less than two weeks away from my twenty-fifth birthday, and eleven months after my first surgery for stage three breast cancer. It originally began as a journal when I was diagnosed. Then, as I grew more depressed and pieces of my life started to fall apart and affect me more, I stopped writing. I don’t know why. Maybe I was too sad to write. Maybe I didn’t want to remember.
Temporary Nipple Tattoos!
My oncologist (Dr. Philamena McAndrew) just shared this website with me http://www.rubonnipples.com/
How cool is this?!?! For women who can’t afford or choose NOT to get nipple tattoos, these are so life like and will add so much confidence in intimate situations, or even something simple like a spa day or the gym shower. No props lost to the ladies who rock the nipple-less boobies with all the moxy in the world! But I know that is hard for a lot of women.
