SubscribeWhen 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 [...]
Bah! to cancer
Breast cancer had a pop at Stephanie. It really wishes it hadn't.

In passing
You may have noticed a certain drive-by quality to my blogging over the last few days.
Obviously, the family and I have been Very Busy buying a house, and doing everything that goes with it: driving up and down to Northumberland, seeing lots of houses, talking about houses, talking about how lovely our new house is, bursting [...]
Bah! BBB latest
I don’t think I’ve got the Bah! BBB quite right yet. I think the idea is sound, but the execution isn’t quite there. I have a mountain of fantastic books from generous authors, publishers and booky people, but I don’t think I’m quite getting the message out. And part of the reason is that the [...]
The Answer
I am nervous about this post, which is probably why I’ve waited until I’m on holiday to publish it.
I’ve written a poem. I don’t know why publishing poetry feels more exposing than writing about every aspect of my dance with breast cancer, but it does.
Anyway, here goes. I hope you like it.

Number 5
According to Wikio, Bah! is the fifth most influential health blog in the UK and Ireland. (And the 2,223rd most influential blog overall. Less catchy, that one.)
Look here!
I’d never heard of Wikio before but having meandered around the site a bit, I like the way it distils and sorts web content and makes it [...]
Difficult times for guest bloggers
I’d really like to add some more posts from all of you talented and insightful people out there.
Here’s the challenge: can you write 300-500 words about something that has got you through a difficult time? And can the thing you choose to write about be something that other readers of this blog can use or [...]
Going visiting
The BBBB has been seen at quite a few blogs around the www this week. I’ve listed them below so that you can go and visit. Obviously you already know about the BBBB, but you might enjoy looking around these other blogs – they are all interesting, in different ways. I’d really like to thank [...]
Ambling
Recently I was asked to write a little piece for The Ambler, the community magazine of the place where I grew up.
Here it is. You might enjoy it. There might not be anything new in it for regular readers… but at least you get to gaze on the sight of me in pink and purple [...]
Another Joy; from Elsewhere
On Monday, I wrote about an email that upset me. On Wednesday, I received another one that made me cry, but in a good way. I’m going to publish it in full below, which I’m finding quite difficult, because it says lots of nice things about me and it feels vain and self-aggrandising to reproduce [...]
Hello!
Welcome to the all-new Bah! to cancer website.
Please bear in mind that this new site is a work in progress and will change, but it will be the blog’s home from now on.
I’d love it if you would take some time to explore the rest of the site, where I’ve tried to sum up the Bah! approach [...]

- Mr Whiskers is settling in. He doesn't like the look of the rain I have explained it's the same rain as in London but he doesn't believe me.
- @taniaglyde You're right. And I don't even know how 'top' is defined. Just my 'top of the class' competitiveness coming in to play!
- I have gone from 5th to 8th to 14th top UK health blogger according @Wikio. It's good I don't take any notice of these things. *sulks*
