Amazing…the power of choice -better yet – the freedom of choice. Thank you Kris and all you Crazy Sexy Smart Courageous and Inspiring Ladies for the ever-so necessary reminder that everyday starts with a choice: to either win (live) or lose (die). I’ve been sitting around feeling all sorry for myself because of a knee fracture…I’m rightfully embarrassed. Thank you for the perspective and the message that we can all benefit from during life’s challenges. xo

I’m going through chemo at present (second time around). In spite of my many scars, the little bit of hair left on my head, my colostomy, etc. – damn I’m sexy. I go to a tanning salon and get a spray on tan (have a monthly contract). I strut myself around with cute earrings, my tennis player/swimmer fake tan, light blonde highlighted super short hair, lipstick and a killer attitude. I can deal with cancer, care for a child with disabilities, do it even after my husband of 25 years has left me. I’m a warrior with cancer.
Thanks for the book. I can’t wait for the series. At present I dance and sing to the music like I am crazy. And when I look in the mirror at my nakedness I think I am beautiful.

Thank you for the film, book and show. I have only seen the TLC ad, but I immediately thought this gonna be a changemakin’ thang.

I don’t have cancer, but know all too well the “trenches” and the need and essential power of carrying my bliss and joy with me.

I was feeling quite anxious about starting the new school year (I’m an art teacher) after some notable challenges and concerns last year, but now that I’ve experienced the crazy sexy cancer vibe I feel better about things. I say bring it baby…I’ll just float over to my glass of organic champagne and have a good giggle.

Thanks Kris Carr

I saw an ad for your show on TLC and immediately went out and bought the book. All I can say is that you have helped light a fire inside me. I was diagnosed last October with an incurable cancer at the ripe old age of 25. I feel like I am just waking up from that hellish ride and am ready to take control. I can’t thank you enough for your openness and your humor. I caught myself laughing out loud every five seconds while reading the book. We are all in this together and laughter will help us get through it.
P.S. I am ordering all the books on your reading list and can’t wait for my juicer to arrive.
Canser does suck!!

I can’t wait to see your documentary. I’m 39 and was diagnosed in April with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (follicular) which is considered incurable. I have two children ages 6 and 3 and am determined to try to stay around as long as I can for them. I absolutely will see my youngest graduate from high school. Your positive attitude is wonderful. I already have the DVR set to record it and hope to look back on it when I need some inspiration!! God bless.

Kris,

I have had cancer on/off for 4 1/2 years. Colon/lymph node/liver and now possibly lung. I have to tell you that I found 2 things that have saved me from all the ‘awful’ nausea and ‘on the couch 24/7 fatigue and severe diarrhea that I have had through my chemo/radiation treatments. I would highly recommend both. No, I am not a Dr. just (was) a suffering patient, but my days now are almost completely nausea, fatigue and diarrhea free or just slight. I am on chemo 21 days a month still. Oh and one the most important things that happened within drinking these, my platelets came back up into the normal range an have stayed there ever since. My Oncologist is very amazed and told me to keep drinking them. :-)

I bought your book today and I am on my way to the porch to relax and read it. Also, I saw you on the Morning Show–you look great and are helping so many of us with your inspiration. Thx, Sue

I was Diagnosed with Colon Cancer May 8, 2007. I am 33 and there is a 10% chance of someone under 50 getting it. I always have to defy the odds.LOL I am all of a sudden fighting for my life, when in reality the best part of my life is just beginning. I have 4 kids, ages 3, 5, 13, and 14. The hardest part is looking in their faces and wondering what the future holds for you. I smoked for 14 years, and at my most I was at a pack a day, but after my first daughter with my husband was born 5 years ago I had cut down to only a few a day. Not to mention I stopped with every pregnancy. So apparently you don’t have to be a pack and a half smoker for 30 years to get cancer. I’ve had surgery to remove my lower third of my colon, my appendix, 21 lymph nodes, 3 had cancer in them, and a complete hysterectomy. Chemotherapy could last 6 months to 2 years. There is a good chance it will be longer because there is a good chance the cancer has reached my liver. Right Now I a confirmed Stage 3 Colon Cancer. I take it a day at a time with the thought of what an adventure this will be. God is on my side and regardless of the outcome it is a win-win for me.

After the last three months have come and gone, I find myself realizing this is just a part of my life, although sometimes I feel too tired to be a mom sometimes, too tired for Cancer, too tired to get up, but I know I want my life back..Thank you soo much for putting out a program that will help others understand what we deal with, maybe it will touch those that I haven’t been able to reach yet.

I learned of my girlfriend Maurine’s Ca Dx over 6 years ago, and was her primary caregiver for 7.5 months until we both ran out of money. We hoped our story would be as happy as yours, but we went through a lot of what you went through.

Odd thing is we could not get ahold of her records, but we were told she had ovarian cancer and PCD (paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration), which rendered her highly ataxic, unable to care for herself, with limited abilities to feed and groom herself, use the bedside commode privately, answer telephone, use remote, turn lights off/on, all with difficulty.

I wrote a book of our experiences, but I lost my job, house, vehicle and had to start all over with my life about 7.5 months after she passed into a higher vibration. Her cancer was sexy and crazy too, but your story makes me feel good that we tried so many positive things that you also tried and that they do work for some people like yourself.

Congratulations on surviving and getting married. He is one lucky guy. And thanks for telling your story and others, which offers hope to others, which is a great thing to have when you are sick. It was a roller coaster ride, but we had some fun before it all mercifully ended. Surely your tale will be a healing gift to others, and I cannot tell how happy I am for you, and that what Maurine and I did was not a waste of time, money, and energy, though I would have done it all anyway to whatever extreme that I could. It is a shame that the fight sometimes has to end because of monetary issues. Thank you again.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!

Yes to life!!! Always.

love,
Christiane

Hi i loved the show really needed it too thank you so much for sharing this…i was diagnosed yesterday and i told them to stop talking to me like they gave me a death sentence …i’m fighting to live not waiting to die so there.

brilliant stuff…

Hi! Many many blessings to you! ( and For about a million reasons and one of them being that seeing the trailer of your film and yyour living! is so helpful to me right now. I lost my best friend this summer to a rare and rapid-monster- fast growing cancer. Everyday, whatever I’am doing I’ve felt so distraught. She really wanted to heal. Even though it didn’t happen fast enough for her, in the collective of sisters, of people, that you have found a way into the center of it all and into the healing light there for it to thrive in you, is soooo hopeful AND because of it, we all heal!! Even she (who is no longer here) can celebrate in that! You’ve done it for all of us! What a gift of joy –to the world! to the collective energy of love. I can’t wait to see your film. Thank for this gift today. :) I really, really needed it. Best wishes, and lots of love, Jane Allen

I am a 40 year old single mother of 2, 3-1/2 and 5-1/2 years old surviving breast cancer for the 2nd time in 2 years. The first time I simultaneously dealt with divorce from an a– of a husband who chose to spend time at a bar instead of help even his own young children (1 and 3 at the time), let alone his wife of nearly 6 years, deal with the situation. During that time, in an effort to make good from the bad, I developed a line of cancer awareness note cards to share my hope with others and to “give back” (10% of the proceeds from each pack of cards is donated to patient care foundations and cure research funds) to those who helped me throught the first slew of treatments (check out the cards on my web site http://www.hazforhope.com and spread the word!!). I am in a safe and happy place now, with my children and parents at my side every step of the way, and I’m determined to beat this disease and help others doing it (keep your eyes on my web site, as it will be updated shortly to include many helpful tips for enduring cancer, info on supportive organizations and links to other helpful and supportive cancer sites such as yours)! Kudos to you, Kris, and keep up your great work! I’ll follow you every step of the way.

Dear Kris, My name is Michael. Although I don’t have cancer, I do have 3 other disabilities I have gotten in the last 10 years though, but I am tough also and have a very positive outlook towards things. I saw you on the CBS news today and I was so impressed with you. You are truly a beautiful person, inside and of course out, lol. I just wanted to tell you, God bless you girl ! I hope you keep doing what you are doing. Helping yourself and in return helping others. It was nice to see something inspiraltional on the news for a change. Take care, Michael

Hi Kris,
I felt compelled to stop in and tell you how much your TLC documentary touched me. I am so glad that you put all this information out so that others can learn from it. I am 33 with two kids 10 and 13. My younger son actually watched the program with me and was equally touched and asked many questions. We have never had to deal with cancer however we feel the information you shared touched a broad range of people. My son has even asked about adapting a more healthy lifesyle. Can you believe this…..he wants to try wheat grass juice! I am hoping your book contains some information on the diet you followed. We were also very intrigued at how different your blood cells looked after being on the special diet. You have really been an inspiration for all. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I send you many blessings, love and ((hugs))

Hey there –

Just saw the documentary last night. It made me feel hopeful, sick, sad, happy all at once. I’m in the middle of treatment for breast cancer, and I could certainly relate to much of the film.

And your blog is great – I may have to pass some of it on to my friends, who are always surprised by how upbeat I stay. Like you, I just feel better being happy. Being sad or stressed takes too much energy, and doesn’t come naturally to me.

Everyone’s got their S*** to deal with, ours is just in the form of a gnarly disease. Doesn’t mean we need to stop living.

Thanks for all you’re doing, and rock on with your crazy sexy self!!

Hi Kris,

I love your attitude, way to go! you have a right and a responsibility to lay claim to what touches you and effects changes for the future. A life is full of celebration and yours is a rich one.

Reach for the stars!! because I am reaching for one!

Cheers:-)

I just want to say that I had the fortunate opportunity to spend
quality time with Kris at Hippocrates and she is an amazing
person. Everyone in their lives, deserves to have a friend like Kris.
She is a very appreciative person who brings hope to everyone she meets.
She is very good natured and doesn’t judge anyone. I suffer from severe
Anxiety and she has helped me with not only accepting it, but embracing it.
She has taught me that embracing your challenges will bring positive strategies.
She has taught me to love my anxiety, because that’s all anxiety needs, is nurturing love.

Kris Carr, I told you this at Hippocrates and I will tell you again here:
“You are a gift from GOD”

Lots of thanks and hugs –
Shantel

Hi,
I just wanted 2 say thank you for saying what a lot of people think and/or are 2 scared 2 face. I just turned 28 w/ no kids and was diagnosed w/ uterine cancer in Jan 07, which unless God blessed me prob wont have kids. So far it hasent been that bad on me, or at least I thought until i saw crazy sexy cancer. Your realness and emotions just hit me so hard, although i have total trust in God and the alternatives hes put across my path, i hold in my feelings and fears. My mother who is my best friend has been here since the begining and when u were in the backseat sayin “I wonder how my parents feel taking their little girl 2 a cancer clinic” just hit home and I worry about that daily. Along the way friends have thought I was just “crazy” lol because 2 them it seemed like I didnt care, and it wasent that, its just easier 2 keep working at getting rid of this crap in your body then gettin depressed and faith has been the biggest part in not being depressed or “giving up”. Never the less like I said I dont show feelings so that I wont turn everyone around me into a basket case 2 .lol After watching crazy sexy cool and seeing you, a strong, vibrant woman show your feelings and fears just really hit me and well after thinking about it I cried for the 1st time since I was diagnosed and not just a few little “girly” tears, this was more like a river…lol Thank You SOOO much 4 putting your life and journey out there 4 us, some of us out here dont feel so alone! and the F*** cancer thing ROCKS!!!! life dont stop because you have cancer :) ( sorry this was so long lol)…..God bless girlie!!!!

Thank you Kris,
I was a bit skeptical when I saw the name of your show on TLC last night, but decided to give it shot and am so very glad I did. I must have raved to a dozen people today already (and gotten misty most times – in a good way). You are a treasure and although I can’t relate to your trek, your tenacity and humor are an inspiration to me. Thank you for what you have done. I am buying your book this weekend and passing it along to a step-sister who is a 5 year breast cancer survivor, knowing you will inspire her as well.
Thank you for just being you!

Put the word canSer in a sentence, and say …I canServive! Or..I am a canServivor!! giddy-up :)

Kris –

I have never blogged anything in my life, but you are such an inspiration that I had to remind you. Even for those not living with cancer you have the ability to remind all of us that it is up to us to choose happiness. I wish you all the best and will be watching and reading to see you advance. Thank you for your inspiration, your story, and your gift. You make the world fast dance!!

Saw your film tonight. It really hit home. I’m 56 and dealing with a slow growing spinal cord tumor for 14 years. Radiation twice a day for 6 weeks, two surgeries and 19 months of chemo over the years. When the symptoms increased 16 months ago I went alternative treatment and mixed the Gerson Therapy (carrot juice and twice a day coffee enemas) with eating according to your blood type and green smoothies. Last week I had my annual mri and got a report that my tumor had shrnk in half. The first time it has shrunk in 14 years!! Diet is where it’s at!

Oh…. I forgot to mention the most importnt things. Determination and Prayer are the real keys. Without them I would have never been led to the diet.

What a beautiful and honest documentary. I too dislike the term survivor; who wants to be a victim? Please add dragon boating to your list of post-dx pleasures. http://www.gopinkdc.com/ With affection from a 65-year-old paddler.

I was diagnosed at 45 with Stage IIb breast cancer. It’s been a very scary bumper-car ride so far but (as we say in cancerworld) I’ve been dancing with NED (no evidence of disease) for over 2 years. I’m more than happy to share NED with anyone else on this journey. Thank you for reminding me that I’m still a sexy woman and that canSer (very cute) doesn’t own me. Sprinkle us all with fairy dust…

Thank you so much for all that you have done! My boyfriend Jeff watched the documentary , which gave him a better understanding of all that I have gone though and continue to go though with cancer. I want to read the book and hope that the documentary will air again so more and more people can learn from it.
Thank you and keep up the good fight, as I do everyday. :)
Ann

I am inspired as many other are by your experience. Thank you. I hope to spread your message to as many people as possible. I have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. I do not have cancer and no one in my family has ever had cancer. But you are right. “Cancer” is just a word. We all have something in our lives that we wish were different. This minute, I am starting to work on my obesity. It is my cancer. I will find a way to work at it enough to feel satisfied with my life. The words Thank You are not enough to express my appreciation for you sharing your story.
Gratefully Yours, Maria

I LOVED your documentary and I picked up the book just the other day at the library.

I am blessed to not have cancer, but your story inspired me to take action with my own disease. The past year has been a year of growth and change for me, and I add your documentary and your book (gonna have to get my own copy!) are just two more tools to use in my own unique recovery.

Except the grass enemas. Sorry, just can’t do it. *lol*

i’ve used everything on this site, with a positive attitude in the past and am now 27 and very ill, very in pain and essentially getting personal care permanently because I am so ill. I am a singersongwriter for charity music at http://www.myspace.com/sadierey and it would be awesome if someone in my status and circumstance could post back and we can talk about near death experiences and serious code blue’s! ‘Cause sometimes no matter how hard we try, the body still resists even if you have the utmost positive attitude and respect for the body you have!

thaaaank you my dear :)

WOW! I was flooded with emotions when I started reading about your SHTUFF…its crazy I love itand INSPIRING…I am a writer also..needed this for my life tooo

I just found this article….”"STUDY DEBUNKS NEED FOR AGRESSIVE BREAST CANCER SURGERY.”

SERIOUSLY?!?!?! NOW they tell me???? AFTER I had my lymph nodes removed, in which they severed the nerves in the process, which is now causing me intense sharp pains on a daily basis?!?!?!?!?! They couldn’t of come up with this LAST year WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED??!?!?!? AAAUUUGGHHH!!!!!!!

I just read all 136 pages of this Crazy Sexy Blog. I think I’m in love! There is so much powerful and inspirational information on here! I am inspired to become a wellness warrior and beat my own chronic condition!!
