Joanne Jackson Face book and Breast Cancer



After Joanne Jackson beat breast cancer she wanted to share her story with the world. However, when she posted photos of her mastectomy scars on Facebook, the images were flagged as offensive and later removed from the site.
The 40-year-old British woman had posed for a photo shoot to celebrate her life and decided to upload 11 images to the social networking site in order to inspire other women in similar situations, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports.
But Jackson received a notice from Facebook explaining that some of her content had been taken down because it violated the company's policy regarding nudity.
Soon, the mother took her story public and posted one of the offending pictures on her Twitter account:

"I am not one who is shy but these pictures weren’t as much about me as about other women who had maybe just been diagnosed with breast cancer," Jackson told the paper. "The images aren’t fluffy, they are real and I am very proud of them.”
Earlier this year, the social networking site admitted to erroneously removing photos of a Tennessee couple's deceased newborn son.
Heather and Patrick Walker had uploaded photos of Grayson James, who passed away eight hours after coming into the world due to a rare birth defect. The couple wanted to share his memory with their friends, but Facebook deleted the photos shortly after they were posted.
The company later apologized after ruling the photos didn't violate any of the site's guidelines.
Still, plenty of users have found support and comfort through Facebook's online community.
Kimberley Steele discovered a lump in her breast while she was in the shower. Since then, the Michigan woman has shared parts of her battle with breast cancer with friends on Facebook, and she's says the support she's received has helped with her recovery, My Fox Detroit reports.

"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...
