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...

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...
