I recently bought Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips by Kris Carr and am finding it very empowering. I don't know why I never heard of this before I had cancer, but clearly I was very self-absorbed! I highly recommend it to anyone who is caring for/living with someone with cancer, it has a lot of tips for the CANCER-EEE, but would be just as informative for the one who deals with all the shit that cancer brings, but gets none of the goodies out of it. I particularly like her side notes of "faux pax" anecdotes and witticisms. Very funny.
I bought the book when I went WIG SHOPPING last week before chemo felled me. There is this fabulous little wig shoppe (that's for David who HATES the extra "pe") in Durham owned and operated by a BC survivor. There are a ton of cute hats, buttons, books, wig accoutrements (that word is for Ronda, who I remember in high school used it for the first time so that I could understand it, thanks, R.!) So yeah, I bought a wig. It sucks, I never wanted to buy a damn wig. Those of you who know me, know I'm vain about my hair. I love my hair, always have. Long or short, I like my hair. Losing it will really suck. I figure I got 2 days left. It will be documented of course. Kate will be photographing the whole process. We're trying to get the kid into art school, cancer's gotta be good for something, dammit!
