The fast and the furious - cancer fighting back

Well the more we see and hear the more we want to know. Awareness is the key. Knowing but not knowing it's all about symptoms and really that yearly check with the doctor. Always reporting changes and what's happening.
Doctors are awesome, they are the ones we trust our life too so getting a good one that you can share and feel like they are listening is the key here.
I sometimes think wow that dam test! Yep well it's worth it for peace of mind.
My friends are now loosing parents to this so again what so we share with our friends. Everything, a great friend is an asset.
Remember we were all excited sharing engagements, weddings, births and so many happy and exciting times.
Ok so what now. It's sad now divorces, funerals and sickness.
That's ok that is the circle of life.
It's so weird but now in my early 50's I would be really excited for a wedding or a birth. No more funerals please.
This weekend I have a friends hubbies 50th and my very good friend turns 54. Yay! That's more like it.
Life is short so love, live and don't look back.
So proud of my life, family, friends and work mates. What we share you can't buy.
Smile you know it's true!
Happy days.

"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.

"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 ...
