Sheryl Crow 2006 Breast cancer then brain tumour


Cancer a scary ride, the last thing you want to hear is it's somewhere else:
Grammy-winning US singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour, she said.
The country-pop star, who survived breast cancer diagnosed in 2006, said doctors found the tumour in November, after she had a brain scan because she was concerned about memory loss.
"I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI (scan). And I found out I have a brain tumour," she told the Las Vegas Review Journalnewspaper. "And I was, like, 'See? I knew there was something wrong.'"
"I haven't really talked about it," she said. "In November, I found out I have a brain tumour. But it's benign, so I don't have to worry about it," added the 50-year-old.
The singer recalled how she forgot part of her hit "Soak Up the Sun" on stage in Florida last month, using an expletive to tell the crowd: "I'm 50, what can I say? My brain's gone to s---"
But she told the newspaper: "I have a history of forgetting my lyrics," relating one time in the 1990s when she forgot the intro to "A Change Would Do You Good."
"Not only could I not remember the first line, I couldn't remember the first line to any of the verses... I started laughing so hard! And I looked over at my guitar player, and he's bent over like he's going to just start peeing."
Crow, whose hits also include "All I Wanna Do" and "Leaving Las Vegas," was engaged to cyclist Lance Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer before going on to win the Tour de France seven times consecutively.
The couple dated from 2003 and announced their engagement in 2005, but split shortly before she was diagnosed with breast cancer the following year. She overcame it with minor surgery and radiation therapy.
In May 2007, she announced that she had adopted a two-week old baby boy, named Wyatt Steven after her father and brother. She adopted another boy, named Levi James Crow, in 2010, according to media reports.
Crow has won nine Grammys, including best new artist and best female pop vocal and record of the year in 1994 for "All I Wanna Do," and best female rock vocal in 1996, 1999, 2000 and 2002.

"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 ...

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...
