I have recently been inspired by Kris Carr, a 31 year old who was diagnosed with an “untreatable” form of cancer, who made a documentary and wrote a book about being diagnosed. She worked with other young cancer survivors on a book of tips called “Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips” that I just started reading. I wanted to share some websites with everyone that I got connected to through the book. When I was first diagnosed I felt very isolated, for many reasons, but one of them was the lack of resources for people my age, especially just having someone who had been through chemo before. So I want to list some links here in the hopes that others of you out there can find some strength in them.

This is also playing on TLC right now. So if you have satelite do a search for crazy, sexy cancer. It is a great documentary and very uplifting. What a great attitude she has.
Great links you supplied.

I have seen her show. It was certainly inspirational.
There is one blog spot that I would like to share with you all. Maybe you saw the Ted Koppel documentary that focused on his friend Leroy Sievers’ and Leroy’s battle with cancer. Unfortunately, I missed the documentary but found Leroy’s blog spot.

Leroy is a professional writer so, when he is well enough, the writing is beautiful. If you go to to the National Public Radio site, which hosts Leroy’s blog, look at the comments that he receives. For more personal communication, he can also be emailed.
Indeed, Kris Carr’s battle for cancer is truly a heart-warming story. She does not only fight for her personal battle against the dreadful disease but she also unconditionally reach out for others who suffer the same way as he does. Hats off for you Kris!
Being an advocate for a fight against cancer, I exhaust the web for resources. Let me share with you a site where provides new hope for cancer treatment even in its advance stages.
Please check this site: http://www.oncolyticsbiotech.com
One may find insight about new trends in cancer treatment.
She is on a book tour now and I was able to catch her one night at a book signing. She is so inspirational.
Hey, good luck tomorrow….
Thinking of you through this next round of treatment and can’t wait to see you for Thanksgiving.
