Kylie's Emotional Set at Glastonbury, 14 Years after Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Posted by Emilienne Rebel on
Kylie could have broken record for largest crowd performing an emotional set at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage last weekend...14 years after she had to pull out of headlining the festival due to her cancer diagnosis. She says, I wonder about having kids - but it won't happen.
"In 2005 I was meant to be here," she said. "Circumstances meant that I did not make it. I wished things were different, but life is what it is. We're all together in this moment."
The Australian pop star, 50, said her breast diagnosis in 2005 "changed everything" about the course of her life, and that she tries not to dwell on "regrets" outside of her successful music career.

Signs of Breast Cancer in Men
Posted by Emilienne Rebel on
Breast cancer in men is rare. Around 350 men are diagnosed with the disease each year in the UK compared with over 55,000 women. However, the earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chance of successful treatment, so it’s important to look out for any unusual changes and get them checked by your doctor right away. Around 80 men die from breast cancer in the UK every year.
Signs and symptoms of breast cancer in men
Checking your breast tissue regularly is especially important for men who have a family history of breast cancer or a genetic condition called Klinefelter’s Syndrome. Most breast tissue in men is concentrated in the area directly behind the nipple and the surrounding pigmented area, called the areola. Most – though not all – breast cancers in men appear near the nipple as firm lumps.
Unusual changes to look out for
1. a lump behind or near your nipple, or in your armpit
2: a change in the appearance of your nipple or areola (including change in direction of nipple)
3: nipple discharge or nipple sores (ulcers)

Breast Cancer Signs Found in Egyptian Woman Bones
Posted by Emilienne Rebel on
Raising questions about the causes of modern day Cancer... Environmental? Diet? Stress? Will this give us clues?
A Spanish university team in Cairo has discovered what Egyptian authorities are calling the world's oldest evidence of breast cancer in the 4,200-year-old skeleton of an adult woman. Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty said the bones of the woman, who lived at the end of the 6th Pharaonic Dynasty, showed "an extraordinary deterioration."
"The study of her remains shows the typical destructive damage provoked by the extension of a breast cancer as a metastasis," he said in a statement released on Tuesday.

Liberty Print Head Scarves
Posted by Emilienne Rebel on
See our new range of Liberty Head Scarves online now. Which Iconic Liberty print double-sided headscarf (with a reversible plain cotton co-ordinating side) will be your favourite?
Are you having difficulty tying a head scarf? Don't have anyone to help you tie one and need to tie your headwear on your own? Have had breast or lymph node surgery or radiotherapy and can't hold your arms up above your head for very long? Well, we've taken the difficulty out of it!
I really struggled to tie head scarves when I lost my hair during treatment for stage 3 advanced Breast Cancer and had had lots of different surgeries. I've designed these new headscarves to be super easy to tie. Made using the highest quality softest, stretchiest cotton jersey material, they are already cut to a triangle shape and so just need to be tied once either at the back of the neck or the side, whichever you prefer.
Not just for cancer or alopecia hair loss, our range of Liberty Head Scarves can be worn by any woman with or without hair! They are super soft and comfy and fit snuggly on the head and don't slip around like other scarves, due to the nature of the fabric.

Women’s Cancer Hats US USA United States
Posted by Emilienne Rebel on
I had a really lovely online enquiry from a customer earlier asking about shipping our bold Beanies cancer hats to the USA.
She was looking for stylish women’s headwear which was also comfortable as she’s having chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. I explained about our snug, coton beanie cancer hats and beautiful quality Liberty printed double sided head scarf made for comfort and ease after surgery.
Having chemo, she’d lost her hair quickly and felt cold at night, like I did. Her bald scalp was extra sensitive, so she wanted cotton headwear as they are hypoallergenic and breathable. The skull caps for ladies are suitable for daywear and as a temperature controlling cancer sleep hat.
She ordered some soft cancer Beanies (plain colours and Liberty prints) and head scarves to be shipped to America and had a headwear bouquet sent to a friend as a thoughtful cancer gift also having chemotherapy in Ireland. She also ordered a graffiti greetings skull cap to be sent to America for her and her children to write on for her oncologist as he is a runner as thin breathable sweat wicking exercise beanie.
I really love hearing from my customers and good feedback about our pretty cancer headwear.
Fast international shipping to USA, Canada, Australia and Ireland. FREE SHIPPING on all orders over £65.
