Product Description
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.

 I'm Just Crazy About This Book! August 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After a personal cancer diagnosis, this was one of the first books I read pertaining to recovery. I read many more later, but none were quite as uplifting and encouraging as this one.
Besides detailing her own struggle with cancer, Kris Carr offers page after page of tips that are do-able, and will make you feel as if you really can beat the disease.
All the other five star reviews are here for a reason. This book is informative, helpful, optimistic, and bravely written.
Bravo, Kris Carr. I'll be reading your next book for sure. (Just ordered it, in fact :)
 This book needs an "R" rating printed on the cover! August 21, 2008

I watched an interview with Ms. Carr on Montel Williams and was impressed with her attitude toward cancer. I am walking through stage 4 lung cancer and firmly believe that a positive attitude makes a major difference in the outcome. Couldn't wait for the book to arrive and started reading it the minute it hit my mail box. By the time I hit page 40, I had to throw the book away . . . any encouragement or advice offered by the author was totally lost in the deluge of F-bombs and curse words. What could have been an awesome gift to anyone battling cancer lost all credibility. Buyer beware!

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.

Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips This is a great book and gives cancer patients the hope that they can beat whatever odds are there by taking control of their own health program and being very pro active in the search for the answers and through nutrician you can make yourself healthy.
