Crazy, Sex, Cancer….. What can I say beside “You rock Kris Carr!”… Actually I can say a heck of a lot more,,,,

For those of you who don’t know what I am all jazzed about, Kris Carr and her infectious, bubblicious attitude on living FULLY with health challenges is rocking my world.

Kris is an filmmaker, writer and actor who made the ballsy decision to document her journey on film. From diagnosis (of a type of cancer that I can’t even pretend to annunciate or spell) to spiritual quest for answers to ‘healing-junkie’ status as she searched for ways to healing her mind and body, Kris shares her story of love and moving forward as a Crazy, Sexy Cancer survivor. Watching her documentary was not a voyeuristic glimpse into someone’s pain, but rather a story of wit, honesty, passion and determination – inspiring to not only the cancer community but to people in any state of health anywhere.

Kris inspires a pro-active approach to health and live, motivating others to move forward authentically and search within to achieve more… whatever ‘more’ means to for each of us.

I encourage you to check out Kris’s website www.crazysexycancer.com , read her blog, and go to TLC and bang on their virtual doors to get them to re-air this exceptional film (contact their Viewer Relations department at: (859) 342-8439, or on the web at: http://extweb.discovery.com/viewerrelations). Kris also has a book called “Crazy, Sexy Cancer Tips” you should check out (available from Amazon and others). She will be touring across the US over this next month (unfortunately not in Canada but maybe we’ll get down to meet her)… Her book tour dates are noted on her site.

I cannot express enough how much Kris’ story and mission has inspired me. I know there are millions of other people out there who wish to share their journey too, which is why I believe so strongly in our website - it will give those people the opportunity to do the same – to sound off, speak up, and be heard.

Congrats Kris on all of the well deserved accolades! Your message, movement and story will affect millions. Bravo!
Props and Many Snaps Girl !!!!!!!!!!

Kris, great job. I too have a rare caancer, burkitt’s lymphoma. I’ve been chemoed, transplanted and radiated. I am now in the “wait”. The unknown of “is it gone ?” There is nothing else medicine can do, so we have stopped doing anymore tests. If it comes back, it comes back. I’ve consider myself a surviver since the day I was diagnosed. Your film proved to me I wasn’t alone in my screwy way of approaching “that crazy,sexy cancer!” Thank you for showing women that they can define themselves as women, not as cancer patients.
