Camp Quality - Are you a parent with a child with Cancer ?

Being a twice cancer survivor I still can't imagine and I hope I never find out what it's like to have a child with Cancer. How awful must that be. It's a terrible disease for an adult let alone a child. As we know cancer doesn't discriminate sadly. Rich or poor, old or young, thin or big, tall or short and healthy people. It's out there everywhere!
There are so many amazing charities with so many amazing volunteers. My next journey is to work and help out with this charity. They are doing so much to support the community's children. Offering amazing programs and support.
Your never alone, always reach for help. They are the guardian angels. They call them Camp Quality!

Camp Quality’s Family and Hospital Support Teams work to make hospital life easier for children and families impacted by cancer.
Our Family and Hospital teams visit children's cancer wards across the country, getting to know families impacted by cancer and providing in-hospital support and activities.
The dedicated Camp Quality team act as a hospital contact point assisting families source information about services and programs in hospital and helping with the transition back home.
The Family and Hospital Support teams also bring fun and laughter. They organise special morning teas and pizza nights, introduce our puppets and create get togethers for families to meet and make friends.
They’ll even take care of small but stressful things, such as paying for hospital parking in some cases, so the whole process is made far less traumatic for parents and kids alike.https://www.campquality.org.au/

"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...

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o...

Once ovulation and  menstruation  begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts.
