Chemotherapy - for a woman no hair is hard

That word Chemotherapy what does it mean? Chemotherapy acts by killing Cells that divide rapidly, one of the main properties of most cancer cells. Sadly this also means it harms cells that divide rapidly under normal circumstances. So it basically works like an Army attacking everything in site.
Loosing your hair: men look great bald and always have. It is even a fashionable hair do for the men. Don't get me wrong woman also look great. But I am not a woman that could go bald and feel great. I just feel that I need my hair. I guess I love hair is what I am saying. Love the bun, the ponytale the flicks the waves and of course the straightening iron.
But there are a large variety of wigs available and I had about 5. Financially when you are ill and not working and have heaps of medical expenses. Wigs can be expensive. Mine ranged from one on sale for $120 (I recently donated this to a friends daughter that needed it). Up to $600 and the term was a medical wig. It is lighter than the heavy wigs and breaths. Wigs are hot and they make you itchy, so took a while get used to that. A tip for you WIGWAM is a charity that supplies wigs to cancer patients for free, they have a trained hairdresser to fit you so when you leave with your wig, it looks great. Its great to share these tips as you can be ripped off and it helps to have a smile and someone who understands. Jan works at Gosford Hospital branch she is a volunteer. We need thank volunteers for all they do for the community. So today I am saying thank you volunteers....

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Monumental cleavage alert! Did Natalie Portman get a boob job?

Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman has sparked feverish debate about whether or not she's had a boob job, after she appeared on camera at an American football game looking bustier than before. The 31-year-old, who gave birth to son Aleph in June 2011, was watching the game in Austin, Texas during a break from shooting the as-yet-untitled new Terrence Malick film. With co-star Michael Fassbender by her side, a newly blonde Natalie was spotted by the cameras during the ABC broadcast. While it could very well be a push-up bra, or a consequence of breast-feeding her bub, Twitter fans immediately speculated about the star's potentially enhanced assets. "Natalie Portman @ the Texas-Baylor game ... boob job? Looks like it!" one user wrote. "Wait a second, did Natalie Portman get a boob job? Is she pregnant? On the sidelines of Texas game and #wow," another tweeted. Comments on the YouTube clip ran along the same lines, albeit many of them ...
