Grieving process when your diagnosed with a life threatening disease

You know how they say moving house is the second highest stress besides death and divorce. Yep we have all moved house and it's pretty up there. Doesn't matter how organised you are, that last few hours seems like one of those horror movies where the hall way seems to get longer and longer but it really didnt look that long in the first place. Think we may all relate to that one!
Well being diagnosed with a life threatening illness is a terrible shock. There is a greiving process that takes place just like a divorce or death. All the people that I met with cancer and other disease has this same experience.
Denial - no way this can't be happening they have made a mistake.
Anger - omg! Are you kidding me stage 4 cancer 8 weeks to live.... I am 24 only!
Bargaining - oh wow what the hell, what can I do fly get a miracle cure.
Depression - ok that's it you win! I am outta here, I won't let you take me I will take myself. I can't do this it's way to hard.
Acceptance - this is it fight or die, the only way forward is survival!
It's normal to go through this, all of these or maybe some, I had my coffee days with lots of woman just like me. We were all scared, in shock, no idea what tomorrow would bring!
That's why sharing is important, isolation and thinking your the only one going mad isn't helpful to anyone. Join groups and reach out to others in the same place. It really helps others and yourself to go through this roller coaster ride.

"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 ...

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 ...
