I am still a woman - no boy here

I am still a woman -
Well everything that makes you a woman is still here. Missing lots of body parts to a war that I won is scarey but ok now. In the beginning of this second journey, loosing body parts was pretty scarey. Gee not only that but I may loose my life. Well that's really scarey.
I said to my great friend Zu, I bet my boobs come back before my hair... yep that's the thing.
Loosing hair for a woman is really scarey. Men look unreal with bald heads, don't get me wrong woman look amazing too but I just wasn't comforted by the thought of having no hair. Wigs I had 3 wore them out all the time. Bandanas are cool so they were great for home, at night when you don't realise that hair keeps your head warm. Those Indian type hats were great 👍 I had a red one for night. It had a little white apple on it. Hence to say my kids christened me apple iPod.
The boobs happened in stages actually I am about to share in my next blog. The voyage and stages of that Turn around. So if your feeling like a boy like I was don't worry that feeling will pass.
It's temporary and remember. My friends mum Francis said to me it's vanity versus life.
It's an easy choice life! But when your head is filled with a variety of conflicting scenarios of course it's scarey...
Near ten year anniversary yay
I am still a woman

"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...
