Actress and photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a Jivamukti yoga class didnât provide its usual kick-ass cure. A visit to her doctor confirmed her âliver looked like Swiss cheese,â covered with cancerous tumors. She entered trench warfare (wearing cowboy boots into the MRI machine, no less), vowing, âCancer needed a makeover and I was just the gal to do it!â She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative âquacks,â blind dates, and other women with cancerâsadly 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 Carrâs unforgettable documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer on August 29, 2007.
CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS gathers the lessons learned and advice offered from Carrâs 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.
