SubscribeAs 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 [...]
Bah! to cancer
Breast cancer had a pop at Stephanie. It really wishes it hadn't.
Category: cancer help
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 [...]
Three weeks
Three weeks from now – if all of the ducks currently shuffling around waiting for someone to tell them what to do actually get themselves into a line – we will be moving. Well, sort of. Joy will already be ensconced in Northumberland with her Grandma and Granda, as she starts her new school on [...]
Getting better
I think this is more important and more interesting than anything I might have to say today:

We are getting there. But there’s still a way to go.
Team Bah! is at it again
I told you a little while ago that I will be doing the London Night Hike in aid of Maggie’s Centres again this year. I’m proud and honoured to be joined by my Dad and my son on this 20 mile night time adventure. Here are the three of us in Northumberland last summer.

Trials and macaroons
I do always try to be fair on this blog: to report my experience on the cancer conveyer belt accurately , while trying to see the points of view of others. There are people I have praised to the skies, and people – St. George’s Oncology Department, I’m mostly looking at you – who I [...]

Dancing with cancer has rather recalibrated my ideas of what it’s worth seeing a doctor about, [...]
Thank you
You may notice that the Race for Life donation widget has disappeared from the top of the sidebar.
That’s because the donations page has now expired. (I didn’t realise it was going to so I missed the opportunity to have a final nag at you. But don’t despair – you can still donate to Cancer Research [...]
A present
I had lots of lovely presents yesterday, which was fab. But today I want to show you a present I was given 18 months ago.
On the day in November 2008 when I had a cancer removed from my right breast, a bunch of suspect cells removed from my left breast, and lymph nodes taken from [...]
BBBB bonus!
I have three copies of a terrific book to give away today.
‘Their Cancer- Your Journey: A Traveller’s Guide For Carers, Family and Friends’, by Anne Orchard from Life in the Cancer Fallout Zone, is a guide to being the friend or family member of someone dancing with cancer. It has sound advice and useful insights and [...]
