When I came to this forum I was expecting an overwhelming show of support and sharing about how amazing Kris Karr is, and how her documentary made people look at things with a different light. I was pretty shocked to see the people who seem so cruelly to be judging her for sharing her experience.

I'm pretty sure she never said that her struggle was the hardest one, or that she wanted to start a competition of who has it the worst. Having cancer with her attitude - no matter how severe the treatments - is a major accomplishment.

My best friend (and sister-in-law) passed away from brain cancer a year ago. She had the nasty journey. The surgery, the chemo, the radiation, the blood transfusion that backfired, the bald head, the weight gain from steroids, the physical inabilities and the mental ones. She had many of the hard struggles cancer can bring to a person, but through it all she kept the same attitude that Kris showed in her documentary. I'm glad she did because she was sure sexy!

I would put money down that Kris Karr's purpose had nothing to do with wanting every choice, emotion, word out of her mouth, or journey for faith, analyzed. I saw a courageous woman who wanted the world to experience her journey with her, who wants to create a bond between everyone who is affected by cancer, and who is going to make a difference in how people see cancer, its treatments, and its survivors.

Thank you Kris.
