Looking fit and fabulous in skin-tight jeans and sexy silver top with a plunging back on Wednesday night, Kennerley said she was relieved the six-week course of radiation was over.Inspired by the performance of The Voicecontestants Stevens and Barnes - who were joined by Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Darren Percival on stage throughout the night - Kennerley also said she would love to return to live singing.

''I'm feeling great and so happy to be finishing the radiation. It is my last treatment,'' she said.

Kennerley gave some credit for her svelte shape to the diet devised by her Dancing With The Starspartner Carmelo Pizzoni.

While you could see her happiness all over her face, there was the shadow of a nasty bruise under her right eye, sustained after she took a tumble at her Woollahra home while trying to carry her beloved dog Harvey up the stairs.

''I had stockinged feet, slipped and we both went down,'' she said.

The vivacious television personality grooved along to the powerhouse performance by Stevens and Barnes, almost out-singing the soulful duo and their big band during some of the tunes from their Come Together duets record.

She cheekily explained she was able to kick up her heels because her husband John was in London on business.

The pair will meet up in Rome on Sunday, with Kennerly contracted to film a series of tourism commercials.

She said she was also exploring further interviews with Seven's Sunday Night program after her recent story on rhinos helped the show to one of its highest ratings of 1.4 million.

''It's a commercial deal with a travel company, not a TV show. I can't wait to get my teeth into more interviews for Seven considering how successful that first one was,'' the evergreen entertainer said.

"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...

Youngest Breast Cancer Survivor

No one is immune to Breast Cancer. A four-year-old Canadian Girl, Aleisha Hunter, is reported to be the youngest Breast Cancer survivor in the world. On that note, she is also the youngest woman to ever have a mastectomy. At the age of two, her mother found a lump in her daughter's breast and the doctors confirmed that it was a very rare form of breast cancer. According to the article, less than five percent of women will have to have invasive breast cancer surgery before the age of 40. Luckily, this type of cancer is very slow moving and slow growing. So, she was able to be treated without chemotherapy and harsh radiation that would have harmed her developing immune system. I hope that she continues to heal and will realize how strong and special she is one day when she is older. Aleisha, you are strong and a survivor of a disease that claims a number of lives daily. Women and men alike have been stricken by Breast Cancer, although they are usually much older....
