Welcome to Talk Cancerversary.

Cancerversary Muse, the Lotus Flower

Cancerversary Muse, the Lotus Flower

Talk Cancerversary is our way at Shop Cancerversary to celebrate, rant and laugh about all things cancer.  Our cancer journey doesn’t end with treatment, survivorship has it’s ups and downs.  We all have stories to share; funny, sad, hopeful, awkward, joyful, scary.  We are survivors, friends and family of survivors, and we’d like you to share your stories with us!

At Shop Cancerversary, we celebrate the milestones of the cancer survivor with inspirational, symbolic, empowered, and healing sterling silver, hand crafted jewelry and gifts.  We are inspired by and for women who have been affected by cancer.  What is a “Cancerversary?”  It’s any day, time,  or place in history you want to celebrate your survivorship….your cancer anniversary.  We all have different treatments, but our journey is the same:  We are survivors!

Our muse at Shop Cancerversary is the lotus flower. The lotus flower has been a symbol in many cultures, civilizations and religions for thousands of years.  From murky beginnings, the lotus flower defies all odds and rises from the muddiest of water to emerge unblemished as a beautiful, pristine flower.  The lotus is also a symbol of a powerful, vital force.  Lotus seeds found after thousands of years have still been able to germinate.  The lotus symbolizes life ever renewed, revitalized and pure, as it stretches out of the muddy waters every morning.

The lotus flower is a fitting metaphor for those of us who have risen out of the murky waters of cancer and found ourselves still a beautiful, powerful and vital person. You are a survivor, celebrate today!
