On Wednesday night I was watching TV and a show came on TLC called Crazy Sexy Cancer. At first I was a bit hesitant to watch it. I really wasn’t in the mood to sit in front of the TV and cry and get depressed but I’m so glad I watched it!

Crazy Sexy Cancer is a documentary by a young woman, Kris Carr, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 31. She tackles the cancer and it’s effects with alternative medicine, spirituality, humor and a ton of veggies. Here is an excerpt of the description of her documentary from the Crazy Sexy Cancer website …

“Crazy Sexy Cancer is an irreverent and uplifting documentary about a young woman looking for a cure and finding her life.

In 2003, 31-year-old actress/photographer Kris Carr was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer. Weeks later she began filming her story. Taking a seemingly tragic situation and turning it into a creative expression, Kris shares her inspirational story of survival with courage, strength, and lots of humor.

With experimental treatment as her only option, Kris became determined to find answers where there were none. She traveled throughout the country interviewing experts in alternative medicine as she tenaciously dove head first into a fascinating and often hilarious holistic world. Along the way, she met other vivacious young women determined to become survivors. Their stories are as poignant and exciting as the women who tell them. As Kris’s amazing journey unfolds, she realizes that healing is about truly living rather than fighting.

Crazy Sexy Cancer is more than a film, it’s an attitude! It’s about rising to the challenge of life, and no matter what, refusing to give up who you are at your core. This story is as funny as it is frightening, as joyous as it is outrageous. Ultimately, Crazy Sexy Cancer is a thought provoking film about, friendship, love and growing up.”

Unfortunately, the last airing on TLC was on Wednesday October 24th (according to the CSC blog) but the good news is that the documentary is coming out on DVD in mid-December - yippee! It really is a movie worth watching whether you have illness or not. It’s about truly learning to live. Read and subscribe to her blog because Kris really is a great writer too! Funny, direct, spiritual
