Cancer - Doctors

Doctors are special people, we trust them with our lives and we know that they have our best interest at heart. It all begins with a GP a family doctor and he has an amazing connection with the whole family. Mine had been around for 20 years, so a doctor & a friend. Someone you can tell anything to! When something goes wrong he will send you to have tests with specialist. Then again we trust them. So its important to be comfortable and know you are in the right hands. I did have a disaster 18 months ago. My doctor and friend Dr Michael McGrath diagnosed with stomach cancer lost the battle and passed away. A lovely man leaving behind a wife and 2 sons. Only 46 years old. So sad. Then we have to find a new doctor, that is hard but luckily another great move. Started seeing Gerry Paul, he is totally amazing and has done a great job continuing my care. RIP Dr McGrath.
Specialist: mine have been great. My Oncologist Dr Robilliard is great also. What a hard job, these guys have it really tough as they really have to try save your life. I am very happy with circle of doctors I have so many now. Cancer gives you the following GP, Oncologist, Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon and of course lots and lots of tests. Actually you always seem to have some doctors appointment. But isn't it great they look after us and keep an eye open......keeping us in good health!

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

In Stage 1 shows the flat breasts of childhood. By Stage 2, breast buds are formed as milk ducts and fat tissue develop. In Stage 3, the breast become round and full, and the areola darkens. Stage 4 shows fully mature breasts. (Illustration by GGS Information Services.) period begins. Usually these signs are accompanied by the appearance of pubic hair and hair under the arms. Once ovulation and  menstruation  begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that surrounds

"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
