Cancer will I go broke!

When I was younger for my first cancel battle at 24. Just kept working and just kept showing up when I could. Years later 43 second cancer battle. The focus was on getting well. Work was something that I couldn't get my head around. Face to face marketing you need to look and feel good. I felt like the Adams's family uncle Fester! Lovely bald head,  no eyebrows,  no eyelashes and lovely grey circles under my eyes. Weird coloured skin that used to look ok.
Geezzz is this really happening.
Well we need money to pay bills, medical debt, children's things, food and just most things require money! But with so many surgeries ahead of me, chemo and no one tells you that your body parts like your arms will go extremely weak after these surgeries. That the recovery time would be longer than you planned. That you couldn't probably get back to work and normal things for a bit longer. So between surgeries I had 3 months off at a time. Well how do we get that body working again. Arms able to lift normally to do zippers up and to get dressed without help. Ok so I need more money. Got a night packing job at the local Woolworths store, Erina Fair at Erina on the Central coast. This provided me money and a fitness regime that really helped with dollars for bills and strength I got up in those arms. Sounds ridiculous but I was getting into shape, paying bills and mixing with a great bunch of people. All working hard to get that great Australian dream. You know the ones with the white picket fences..., ok I know now it's an ugly old grey fence and it falls down with no maintaince. This was my second job so when money starts to flow again you can pay those bills. Omg there was some bills. I think that some days walking to that mailbox to see what bills were there made that mountain a little harder to climb. But with the introduction of a third income babysitting the bills did evetually come down. I am still working quite a few jobs but those bills are gone. $64,000
If your having a hard time paying bills with your illness. Reach out I was very proud but then I thought I need help so badly. Salvation Army, Vinnies, there are a lot of charities. They are there to help in times of need. Sometimes we just need to reach out. When I think of how many nights I cried myself to sleep wondering if I would ever be able to be independent again. I thank all the charities for support and a stranger with a smile and a grocery card can certainly make a difference. #money #debt #cancersucks #medicalbills

"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 ...

The four stages of breast development

In Stage 1 shows the flat breasts of childhood. By Stage 2, breast buds are formed as milk ducts and fat tissue develop. In Stage 3, the breast become round and full, and the areola darkens. Stage 4 shows fully mature breasts. (Illustration by GGS Information Services.) period begins. Usually these signs are accompanied by the appearance of pubic hair and hair under the arms. Once ovulation and  menstruation  begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that ...
