Shelley Schaitel

Owner - Sparkling Survivor LLC

Shelley Schaitel is an oncology-certified RN with a bachelor’s degree. She has worked in 15 different oncology clinics across Southern Wisconsin for 14 years. 

 

During that time, Shelley was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. She discovered that she carry a genetic mutation (BRCA1) that caused her to be at high risk for multiple cancers, including breast, ovarian, uterine, pancreatic, and melanoma. 

 

After her experience with cancer, Shelley found her level of understanding and compassion for my oncology patients to be above and beyond what she thought would be possible.  Shelley has clinical knowledge, but more importantly, personal experience to support those during this new and confusing chapter of life. Few doctors, surgeons, or nurses have the actual cancer experience to share with their patients. 

 

Shelley's goal is to remove the stigma and negativity associated with cancer by guiding you toward a POSITIVE perception. In essence, inspiring light in total darkness. Shelley wants to encourage you to TELL CANCER WHO’S BOSS!
