Breast Cancer diagnoses Kerri-Anne Kennerley

Breast Cancer can happen to anyone!

Good luck Kerri--Anne

TELEVISION personality Kerri-Anne Kennerley is fighting breast cancer, New Idea reports.

The 58-year-old star has told the magazine she discovered a small tumour "no bigger than a pea" just seven days ago.

But she says she owes the discovery of the lump - and her life - to her stint on Seven's reality show, Dancing With The Stars.

Kennerley found the lump on her breast while sewing extra bling on her beaded bra, just prior to performing her Marilyn Monroe-inspired routine on the prime-time program.

"If it hadn't been for that, I might never have noticed the lump," she told New Idea.

"It's a funny thing - the doctor told me if I hadn't lost 8kg on DWTS, and if I hadn't been fiddle-faddling with that beaded bra, i might not have realised there was anything wrong for months."

"I guess you could say DWTS may have saved my life".

While Kennerley, who lives in Sydney with her husband of 28 years, says it is too early to know exactly what type of treatment she'll need, doctors have told her radiotherapy is "a given" and at least part of her breast must be removed.

But the television star has vowed that the show must go on, and has decided to delay her surgery for five days so she can compete in the grand finale of DWTS.

In the raw and moving interview the doyenne of television said she didn't have any of the risk factors.

"That’s why I thought it could never happen to me. I’ve always looked after myself, but here I am," she said.

Fellow Aussie media personalities have tweeted their best wishes, with Chrissie Swan and Rove McManus re-tweeting Peter Hellier’s message of support: “Kerri-Anne Kennerley has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Good luck with the road ahead KAK. You have the whole of Oz's love & support!!”

Dancing with the Stars tweeted: “We are very sad to hear that our Kerri-Anne Kennerley has has been diagnosed with breast cancer :( We wish you all the best @kerrianneken xx”

The news comes just days after announcing her yet-to-be-named prime time show on the Seven Network.

Kennerley says she went public with her story to urge all women to undergo regular mammograms.

"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...

Loosing a parent!

When a Parent Dies: Dealing with the Loss of Your Mother or Father By David Kessler This is spot on. I guess until you go through this you will never know. #parents #love #grief #davidkessler #survivor #iamstillawoman When a parent of an adult dies, there is almost an unspoken expectation that it will not hit you head on. An adult is expected to accept death as a part of life, to handle all sudden losses in an appropriate adult manner. But really, what does that mean? That you should not be sad? That you should be so grateful they didn’t die when you were a child that you don’t need to mourn your parent? The above considerations demonstrate an under-estimation of grief. Grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. That loss does not diminish because you are an adult or because your mother or father lived a long life. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for the man who...
