Product Description 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.
Take the message in this book with a grain of salt November 22, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I did not like this book, nor do I agree with the author's message. Really? Advice on feeling good from a cancer survivor who has never had an iota of treatment? The author has pissed a lot of people off, including those formerly in her circle, since she became a "cancerlebrity." Take this book and its message with a grain of salt. No pun. I am concerned for the legions of ill people who may be taking this girl's books to heart. Appearing on Oprah and jumping on a trampoline does not an expert make.
The End of the Pity Party October 25, 2008 From personal experience, I can say that a cancer diagnosis, and the aftermath of treatments, out of control emotions, and fear, can leave us feeling VERY sorry for ourselves.
Enter one crazy, sexy, "CanSer Cowgirl", Kris Carr. In her newest book, Carr shines her encouraging light on anyone who is willing to look for a way out of the darkness that cancer brings into our lives.
I loved her first book, and this one did not disappoint. In every way, it lives up to its subtitle of "more rebellion and fire for you healing journey."
Kris Carr's chapters on diagnosis, treatment, mind, body, and spirit, offer suggestions and an upbeat philosophy that can help you cope even when you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, and very, very afraid. Her story, and the stories of her "cancer posse" are inspiring because they illustrate a tenacious WILL to live well--DESPITE cancer. (And there is the beginning of the end of the pity party.)
If you, or a loved one, have cancer, try this book. And light a fire under your own healing spirit.
excellent, great follow up for the first book October 24, 2008 An excellent companion book to the first book.The graphics are terrific and the text is entertaining as well as helpful. I am a huge fan of Kris Carr - her publications are an incredible boon to cancer patients.
A Little Book That Says So Much October 17, 2008 My sister in law was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. She and I aren't very close (although I'm close with my brother). Struggling to find some way to express my feelings I decided to send her this book. Crazy Sexy Cancer says it all, it's a life affirming book that is more about surviving cancer than suffering from it. In an era with so much cancer, we're lucky to have such a smart, honest and touching book.
