Crazy sexy cancer tips

by Kris Carr

Actress/photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a visit to her doctor confirmed her "liver looked like Swiss cheese." She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative quacks, blind dates, and other women with cancer. The Learning Channel broadcast her documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer, in 2007. This book gathers the lessons learned and advice offered from Carr's own journey, as well as the experiences of her cancer posse. 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 women newly diagnosed with the disease, and for those who love them.--From publisher description.
