Elissa Kalver is not shy about sharing the reality of her terminal cancer diagnosis and the transformation it has brought to her understanding of what it means to really live a full life. For Elissa, survival alone is not enough. In We Got This, she describes how having cancer has broadened her definition of what it means to "win,” urging us to reconsider our own conceptions of success and resilience. Elissa openly explores topics such as chemo treatment, fertility preservation, what NOT to say to a cancer patient, caregivers as the “invisible patient,” fear around death, parenting with cancer, and so much more. Through her experience and insights, Elissa aims to inspire us to live our most authentic life possible—and cancer is not a prerequisite.
In the book, Elissa invites us into the moment she transformed her pain into purpose by
founding WeGotThis.org, the first ever non-profit gift registry for cancer patients and caregivers
to help bridge the gap between patients and their supporters.

As a record breaking sales woman and former collegiate athlete, Babson College alum Elissa Kalver has always known what it means to succeed. After a life-changing diagnosis, Elissa's approach to life and her inner fight became more important than ever.
"I do not need to be in remission to win. I do not need to be cured to lead a happy, meaningful, connective life. My life today is enough; beautiful daughter, loving husband, good friends, supportive family. I call this a win, I call this success."
Her diagnosis hasn't stopped her from celebrating life or working in service of others - in fact, it has driven her to create WeGotThis.Org, the first ever non-profit gift registry for cancer thrivers and caregivers. WeGotThis.Org's mission is to build a community of giving and receiving that helps cancer thrivers and supporters live their best lives. Thriver, founder, speaker, author and Andover, Massachusetts, native, Elissa resides in Los Angeles with her husband Eric and daughter Ellie.
