Product Description An advice-from-the-trenches cancer survival guidebook for young women with cancer.
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 is broadcasting the premiere of Carr's unforgettable documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer on August 29, 2007 @ 9:00-11:00pm (ET/PT).
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.

Highly recommended June 3, 2009 Betty J. Mitchell (Springfield,OHio) I bought this for my sister who was diagnosed with cancer. It was recommended by my daughter-in-law as she had seen it on TV and thought it might be useful. My sister reported that it is indeed useful and is among the things cancer patients should read.
Learning to trust myself April 25, 2009 Mary A. Ramey Kris Carr has written a wonderful book that explores her journey of self discovery. Whether you have cancer, have a loved one with cancer or just want to make yourself and your planet healthier, this is the best starting point you can choose.
Great reading for those that have cancer April 18, 2009 L. Costilow (Marana/Tucson, AZ) I'm a hairdesgner and do wigs for those that have or are undergoing cancer treatments. Of course the loss of hair is the first sign of a change in a persons looks and I try to make that feeling less painful by designing a wig that looks natural thereby making the client feel better about themselves. I give my clients the book because the attitude of the author is something that I feel is worth sharing. I have purchased many books and will continue to do so as long a I feel it is helpful in bringing a smile to their faces.
There's nothing sexy about cancer! January 2, 2009 Kali Mero (USA) 1 out of 12 found this review helpful
There's nothing sexy about cancer! How can such a serious subject matter be turned into something ridicule? I can't believe a publisher even accepted to publish this manuscript!
I am a Crazy Sexy Survivor! September 24, 2008 S. Risko (Bridgewater MA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am an 18 year leukemia survivor. I was diagnosed at age 5 and I'm 24 now. I am in my last year of college and I really didn't start feeling pretty, or sexy or anything because I've never had a boyfriend so I thought I wasn't beautiful enough for anyone. Then I saw Kris's documentary on TLC and that changed tha way I felt about myself. I still don't have a boyfriend yet but I know there is one guy out there who will find me someday and he will see me as beautiful and sexy.
