Hey everyone! My name is Elissa Kalver. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer at the age of 34, just a few days before my daughter's first birthday. I had been working in financial services and had sold a gym I ran for several years, just a couple of years before getting diagnosed. I'm all about balance (I love both Backstreet Boys and NSYNC!). Here are my top 5 registry recs:
1 Bombas Socks
I love that Bombas don't have seams on the toe line because I tend to get cuticle infections during chemo. They have been a huge comfort for me and I love their mission of buy 1, give 1.
2 Hyperice Venom 2 Back
Cancer has been a huge pain in my back! This product from Hyper Ice not only helps massage but also provides heat. It's been a huge relief from me with my recent symptom of back pain.
3 Flip Mits
Icing during chemo was a big thing for me to help prevent neuropathy. I love that Flip Mits can keep my hands warm while also being functional, not only in every day life but also while having to ice my finger tips.
4 Sleep Again Pillow
While I haven't had surgery yet myself, I am preparing for a lumpectomy next month and I have already found so much comfort from the pillow system from Sleep Again. This thriver founded business is one that I am so grateful exists.
5 Casa Danu Kimono
Having a comfortable robe throughout treatment has been so critical, but I found that some of the heavier robes were too hot. I am so excited about this thriver founded line of products that is so comfortable, temperature controlled and will be extremely helpful as I'm recovering from my lumpectomy.
