Obstetrics and gynaecology - Malcolm Catt a miracle man

Malcolm Catt

Malcolm Catt died on Australia Day after liver

cancer took hold of him suddenly after some

time in remission

He always sat right up the front and sang the

hymns well.

I didn’t know he was a musician. He had his

LMus. A in piano at 15 and played a Mozart

concerto under Sir Eugene Goossens. He

regularly played chamber music and often

performed concerts with the Central Coast

Orchestra. Indeed, he came from a very

musical family. His sister is the Director of

Music at the historic South Brisbane St.

Andrews Anglican Church where she is

overseeing the restoration of their historic

organ. He gave up a musical career to become

a leading obstetrician. However, he was an

organist at the Gosford Uniting Church.

Malcolm’s funeral was held on Wednesday,2nd

February at 10 am, conducted by the Rev. Dr

David Gill and the Rev. Graham Woolnough of

Gosford Uniting Church.

The family requested the presence of the choir

to lead the hymns. The soloist was Matthew Cin

who sang in January at the last service Malcolm

attended which meant so much to him in his

dying days. By request Byron Westbury played

the trumpet.

The fact that the church was packed with

mourners on a working day attests to the high

regard in which this gentle man was held.

* I wanted to share this with you. A local leading obstetrician.

He found my first cancer, it was rare he had never seen

it before but he acted in an amazing manner. I wanted to

say doctors are amazing we trust them with our lives. Malcolm

Catt was a very nice man, cancer awful disease. RIP Dr Catt

Sharing this as they are human, we forget that.

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o

"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

The four stages of breast development

Stage 4 shows fully mature breasts. (Illustration by GGS Information Services.) period begins. Usually these signs are accompanied by the appearance of pubic hair and hair under the arms. Once ovulation and menstruation begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that surrounds
