Cancer and sisterly love ❤️

I am the eldest of 3 girls. I have the cancer gene. Go figure I would be the one to get that. But on the flip side. Yep I got it. Thank goodness my sisters didn't get it. Before we found out they were clear, it was a big worry for them. As it would be.
My sisters have supported me through this battle and always been buy my side through my ordeal,  this weekend I am heading to the country to my home town. That is Goulburn, it's in the southern highlands one hour from Canberra, I am so excited to see my Dad and great family time.
Family and friends do take a cancer blow badly as well. They are a ultimate support through life and everyday things. Excitement and sharing hard times is what that back up is all about. I have the best back up system in the world. Family is so important.
On Dads side my Nan lived to 100 and 3 weeks. My Yia Yia which is on my mums side is 87 and a trooper. She still cooks for 20 people and does her own gardening, she loves roses 🌹 I have always admired her garden. My sister Alana is cooking up a storm for Yia Yia, Dad and Me.
So I am heading to the country this weekend.
Sisters backing each other. Look at us go.
My Dad is so proud, my mum if she was here would be too.
It's not hard to see how lucky we are. Lean on your brothers and sisters. Blood is thicker than water.

"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.
