Synopsis
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.
