ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW

Actress and photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a Jivamukti yoga class didn’t provide its usual kick-ass cure. A visit to her doctor confirmed her “liver looked like Swiss cheese,” covered with cancerous tumors. She entered trench warfare (wearing cowboy boots into the MRI machine, no less), vowing, “Cancer needed a makeover and I was just the gal to do it!” She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative “quacks,” blind dates, and other women with cancer—sadly a growing group. These include hip, young women such as illustrator-author Marisa Acocella Marchetto (Cancer Vixen), Glamour writer-editor Erin Zammett (My So-Called Normal Life), MTV personality Diem Brown (Real World/Road Rules Challenge), model Sharon Blynn (founder, Bald Is Beautiful), and music manager Jackie Farry, among others.

The Learning Channel broadcast the premiere of Carr’s unforgettable documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer on August 29, 2007.

CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS gathers the lessons learned and advice offered from Carr’s own journey, as well as the experiences of her cancer posse. Full-color photos accompany personal stories and candid revelations in this scrapbook of advice, warnings, and resources for the cancer patient. Chapters cover your changing social life, dating, sex, and appearance; essential health tips on how to boost your immune system; recipes; medical and holistic resources; and information on young survivor support groups. The resulting book is a warm, yet informative tool for any woman newly diagnosed with the disease and for those who love them.

USER REVIEWS

"This book is full of advice and how to's and stories that make managing the little c a little easier. It's not so much about having cancer, but more about living healthy no matter the diagnosis. We're all gonna die, but how many of us really live? "

"I started reading this book as I was just beginning to recover from my second cancer hit. She manages to express things that I couldn't put into words until I read hers. I think one of the most valuable tips is to collect a posse--and these can be people you don't even know. She offers many recourses to answer questions one might have. I'm not sure this is the best to read if you have JUST been diagnosed, because she relates to those who are through the initial shock of hearing the word cancer. She concentrates on how to LIVE and is such an inspiration herself. The greatest thing is that I didn't have to read about survival rates, thank you kris."

"This is one of the best books written to understand two very important things, CANCER IS NOT A DEATH NOTE and YOU CAN LIVE WITH CANCER. Insightful, delightful, sometimes difficult to read from an emotional point of view. It is raw, real and wonder-filled. A handbook for those dealing with cancer and for those who want to understand those who have cancer better."

"I read CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS cover to cover on a a flight from LA to NY. I laughed out loud, wept quietly, and most of all, marveled at the magic that is Kris Carr. If Deepak Chopra, "What To Expect When You're Expecting," and Sex and the City had a love child, it would look just like Kris' CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS. It is sheer perfection for cancer "cowgirls" and their loved ones--colorful, soulful, and intimate."
