Bookfanatic reviewed Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor: More Rebellion and Fire for Your Healing Journey on
This is not your typical cancer survivor book. It's funny, fun, irreverent, youthful and spirited. This is not a woe-is-me, pity party book. There are enough of those out there if that's what you're looking for. This book is about surviving or living with cancer while still living a full rich life. It's an original and inspirational book. When I say inspirational,I don't mean it in the religious, faith-based way, but rather the passion and love for life you'll come away with. This author has a lot of enthusiasm. The book is full of colorful photos, wonderful anecdotes, sections for journaling your thoughts, really helpful nutritional and dietary information, tips on maintaining one's appearance and humor through various cancer treatments.
The author knows what she is talking about. She was diagnosed in her 20s with a rare incurable cancer that has no treatment and very little funding. She's had that particular cancer for several years. It's slow growing, but could change at any moment. She refuses to let the fact she has an incurable cancer stop her from having a spirited life.
I found her book helpful and entertaining. How often can you say a book about surviving cancer is entertaining? You can use that term for this book and not feel bad about it. Her "rah, rah..you go girl" cheerful attitude can be a bit much for some people, but she does it in a way that makes you realize you are the most important person in your recovery from cancer and that really all of us have a terminal condition. Life is a terminal condition. None of us are immortal. It's what we do with the time we have here on earth that's important.
