On May 16, Sheryl Crow, one of our favorite celebrity breast cancer survivors, gave her first public performance since announcing her breast cancer diagnosis, surgery and radiation treatment. She was hired by a new broadcast network to sing A Change Would Do You Good -- a theme song for one of their new television series. When Crow stumbled through the lyrics of Soak Up the Sun, she joked about it saying, "I knew the words last night. I think the radiation went to my brain." But she is back, and that is all that matters.On May 19, she performed with Billy Joel, Lenny Kravtiz, Russell Crowe and Will Ferrell at Sting's Rainforest Foundation Fund Benefit Concert in New York. Revlon sponsored what the Guinness Book of World Records has deemed to be the biggest environmental fundraising event in the world. The Empire State Building glowed environmental green as a tribute to the fundraising efforts to save rainforests from destruction. We have posted about rainforest plants with the potential to help treat or cure cancer -- here and here. But, we may never benefit from the healing plants found and plants yet to be discovered, if the rainforest continues to be destroyed by the greed of illegal logging. Not only is Crow back -- she is making a difference -- and having a great time doing it because -- to quote her, all I wanna to do is have some fun. We are glad she has returned to performing her music and celebrating her cancer survivorship.











1. I hope Kylie Minogue will join this fund too. She's my favourite singer (and woman he he). I was sorry, when her diagnosis was published.
Maybe Sting's fund will gather all cancer-stars? Black humor, but I hope so
