Bah! to cancer

Breast cancer had a pop at Stephanie. It really wishes it hadn't.

To-do

As The Move gains momentum, Alan and I have a to-do list as long as all of our arms, severed and laid end-to-end. I’d hate you to feel left out, so I’m providing a handy Bah! to-do list so you can join in. Please feel free to do at least one of them today, or [...]

Declaration

Well, the first driving lesson in 20+years went surprisingly well. Hill starts, 3 point turns, roundabouts, junctions, and a little bit of the A1, where I got up to 55mph and 4th gear. (There are, I’m sure, fingernail marks in the steering wheel from where I was gripping. I need to get my head round [...]

Term begins

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that back-to-school feeling ever quite leaves you. September 1 will usually find me on a stationery spree, even if my urge to rush home and stick pictures of Duran Duran all over my new notebooks is not as strong as once it was. I may even be [...]

Guest blogger: Carolyn McCormac – ‘When Cancer Calls’

It’s not what you think. If indeed you do think about it before being diagnosed. My initial breast cancer diagnosis came in February 2007 and I was re-diagnosed with secondaries in October 2009. Along with all the feelings of shock, isolation and fear comes something unexpected and most welcome. Love. And it comes from all [...]

Guest blogger: Anna Wallace – ‘Questions’

As the cancer survivor we are, ourselves, always very concerned about what to say and what not to say.  About how to tell people how we’re feeling but without being too self-absorbing or showing that we’re scared and frightened.  We’re also, at times, worried that if we ask for too many favours now how will we ask [...]

Bah! BBB: ‘The Bridesmaid Pact’ by Julia Williams

This week I have a signed copy of ‘The Bridesmaid Pact’ by Julia Williams to give away to someone in need of a good read.

I came to read this because I’d set off on a long journey with only a few pages left to read of the book I had with me. I went into [...]

And the winner is….

Jo, who gets a copy of ‘I Think I Love You’ by Allison Pearson. Send me your address , Jo, and I’ll get it out to you.
(I’m quite liking this ‘book giveaway every weekend’ thing. What do you think?)

Conundrum

When I started blogging, I wasn’t thinking very far ahead. If I thought about the future of the blog at all, I assumed it would peter out at some point: when treatment stopped, when people stopped reading it, when I got fed up with it. Back then, the blog was, essentially, a tool to keep [...]

My new book

When I look back, one of the interesting things about my dance with cancer has been the different ways that my friends and family have supported me. Some people have chosen to keep me occupied; some have offered practical help; some have invited me to talk to them about cancer; some have encouraged or tried [...]

Quack

To describe our house as chaos right now is deeply unfair to chaos. (Our house is in a state which would make chaos hit the smelling salts pretty hard.) We are packing, clearing, shredding, and sorting, in largely good-humoured fashion, although we’re taking it in turn to have our moments. We have found a company [...]
