Wigs, Turbans and Hats





Some women, as soon as they see the first sign of hair loss, take the plunge and ask their hairdresser to give them a super-short cut. If you have a good-shaped head, go for it! 
With so many close-cropped heads in fashion now for both men and women, they reckon that “if you can’t beat them, join them!”

I learnt the hard way, I decided to not cut my hair and it ended up cooking on my head in my cap. Was very traumatic. I would suggest getting a cut to avoid this.

Its a great time to be a different colour play with the wigs, I had a short one, a long one and one exactly like my old hair. I became a bit of a hat girl. So thats something I don't normally wear but had fun with it. New fashion accessory.

On a hot day wigs are a bit hot. But there are so many things you can do. On the up side wearing a wig means you never have a bad hair day. Shop around as well, as wigs are expensive and I paid $600 for a wig which I saw at another place weeks later for couple hundred dollars cheaper. It was very similar. They have a built in scalp so they look real, very clever. Also if you keep your hair, there are places that can make a wig using your own hair. How good is that. 

You can buy chemotherapy hats they cover all of your head. Fantastic and comfortable. I got mine online at headcovers.com. I did hear today there is a local company doing them. 

So be a bit adventurous, my hair is long now I am happy to say. Your hair comes back beautiful but it grew back black...thank goodness for hair dyes.

"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...

Mastectomy Drain Breast Cancer Treatment

The  purpose of drains after mastectomy  is to drain away the fluid that can gather in the armpit region or around the scar on the chest wall. Some people after mastectomy also find that fluid gathers around the shoulder blade area on their back - this seems more common if the muscle from the back has been used for  breast reconstruction  at the time the mastectomy was done. When mastectomy is done - and especially if the lymph nodes are removed from the axilla or armpit - then there is a lot of tissue fluid and lymph fluid left with no where to go. This fluid normally flows through the lymph channels but if they are cut then it can escape into the normal skin and muscle tissues. Your surgeon will place drains under your skin after mastectomy. These drains gather up the fluid and remove it to a bottle (or bottles) that you carry around with you. Some people use a  belt clip to attach the drain  to their waistband - making them more mobile. Others car...

Pancreatic Cancer breakthrough

Published Today By  Ana Sandoiu Fact checked  by Jasmin Collier New research now published in the  Journal of Natural Products  shows that a vine compound is highly effective in the fight against treatment-resistant pancreatic cancer cells. #cancer #cells #pancreaticcancer #breakthrough #natural #journalofnaruralproducts #cure #survivor #iamstillawoman #Anasandiou #jasmincollier A type of rainforest vine may hold the key to effective cancer treatments.  Pancreatic cancer  is notoriously difficult to treat, and the condition has a poor outlook. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the 5-year survival rate for people with early-stage exocrine pancreatic cancer is  12–14 percent . A  new study  explains why that is and offers a potential solution.
