Wamberal, Australia (PRWEB) February 01, 2013
In her new memoir “I Am Still a Woman: My Journey” (published by Balboa Press), cancer survivor Nina-Ann McCurley shares her inspirational story of losing her mother to cancer, surviving cancer (twice) and still living a fulfilling life with abundant love to share with her family and friends.
McCurley was born in a small Australian town, and she lived most of her life as an average woman. Her idyllic life took a major turn when, 12 years ago, her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. McCurley endured tremendous pain and loss as her mother’s life was taken by the disease. After her mother’s death, McCurley resigned herself to being a good mother to her sons and to living a successful and fulfilling life.
An excerpt from “I Am Still a Woman”:
I will tell you it’s lonely, sad, and empty, a pure sadness when she is gone. I guess I felt this pain. I looked at my three boys. If I were to die, how would they be without me? They have a great dad, but that is a very different role. A mum’s tender kisses, her full support, and her protection—that’s what I give to my children, just as she gave it to me.
A keen sailor and tennis player and the owner of her own marketing business, McCurley’s life with her sons was satisfying and rewarding. Then came her diagnosis. Learning that she was afflicted with the same disease that took her mother’s life, she surrounded herself with friends and family. With their love and support, McCurley took on the battle with a heart filled with the desire to live and watch her sons grow into men. She now shares her triumphant journey to help others facing the same terrible journey overcome the incredible obstacles ahead of them.
Life is too precious to let a disease win,” she says. “You have to battle it as you battle any other event trying to overpower you: with love.”

"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...
