You are a Survivor from Day One
On the heels of the acclaimed
Learning Channel documentary and best-selling survival guidebook Crazy Sexy
Cancer Tips comes this survivor’s companion. In Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips Kris
Carr and her posse of Cancer Babes shared their wealth of insights, tricks,
how-tos, and hell yeahs for living life with cancer. Now Kris invites all the
Cancer Cowgirls (and dudes) out there to chat back and record their own
journeys, with this beautifully illustrated, full-color go-anywhere companion.
Pairing Kris’s signature sass and
smart, soulful, real advice with thoughtful exercises, new contributors,
and ample space for writing and reflecting, Crazy Sexy Cancer
Survivor reaffirms that it is possible to live a real, fun, crazy, sexy
life—with cancer. Kris shares her wit and wisdom on everything from food and
exercise to make-up, meditation, spirituality, dreams, planning for today (and
the future), and much, much more.
The user-friendly trim size and
flexible-cover format meanwhile ensure that this incomparable blend of
informative pocket companion and journal can go anywhere—brightening up those
hours in hospital waiting rooms, at home, or spent out in the big, wide,
wonderful world putting into practice that most precious truth: healing is
about truly living.
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. 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.
