Remember when you only saw them on sailors? Well if you are my age you do. Anyway, I have been researching tattoos for a paper I am writing for one of the classes I have been taking at the university this fall. It seems they could be dangerous, certainly hard to get rid of, and even a hindrance to success in the work place. Still, more and more people are getting them. As one young person told me; “By the time I make it to management, the CEO will have a tattoo, so my tattoo will be a usual thing.” He is probably right. For anyone that has had breast reconstruction you may have had your areola tattooed onto your new breast. One thing that I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for is my port scar. On the right side of my upper chest the scar that w...

I had a mastectomy and then a year and a half later had reconstruction. The DIEP flap surgery that I had that involved removal of the healthy breast and replacing both with tissue from my tummy has proven over time to have been a great decision for me. I love that I have real breast lumps and that I look and feel normal. With summer coming I, like many women, am reassessing my body which includes yet another attempt to take off those pounds that crept on over the long, long winter in Michigan. This year though I am really motivated to get the final touches done to my breast reconstruction. I still need nipples and areolas. A final reshaping of one breast is required too but I...

Turns out that is a trick question. There are two ways to pronounce “areola” so it really is a matter of how you pronounce the word. You can either put the emphasis on the second syllable (I would sound this out as “ah-REE-oh-lah”) or the third syllable (which I would sound out as “air-ree-OH-lah”). To see the official pronunciation key and listen to how each version is pronounced, visit the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of areola. Note that the plural of areola is “areolae” (which one might think is “air-ree-OH-lie” but is actually “ah-REE-oh-lee” according to Merriam-Webster). But wait! You can also use “areolas” as the...

And about six percent of all invasive breast cancer cases involve a condition called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), the most aggressive and often undiagnosed form of the disease.IBC does not present itself in the form of a lump or mass and is typically not detected by self-examination, mammogram, or ultrasound.IBC is a misunderstood disease. But if women learn to recognize some of the symptoms, there is a better chance for better diagnosis, treatment, and survival. Think about this, a list of early symptoms of IBC: o. One breast rapidly becomes larger than the other o. Breast has a rash, redness, or blotchiness o. Breast and/or nipple persi...
