Awake and up all night

Hi Helen, I sometimes hover around pre diabetic, so I'm careful, but if you have any leftover porridge, put it in the fridge till morning then slice and fry it, have you tried any of the stevia plant sweetening products, I'm more than happy to use them, and not just for my friends with diabetes.

Hi finding it hard to sleep today as having pet scan tomorrow and worried they will find secondary. I have only joined this forum but its nice to see the different discussions. Any advice, I just think he thought of secondary when I have just been diagnosed is so scary.

Say no more my friend, rich kids, think their better than everyone and everything.

Where I used to live in Bentley, there we're 3 ponds, a swamp, 2 meadows, a patch of scrubland, and about 20 ancient oak trees. All gone, along with the bats, frogs & toads, swallows & swifts, hedgehogs and dragonflies, at least we got a new dry cleaners where you can get your duvet cleaned for twice the price of a new one.

Cass and Pop's were home on Wednesday, and are currently with Sheila's son and DiL, until tomorrow night, and other than a trip to the beach, they won't be going anywhere till next year, hopefully the Highlands in January.

Thank you for being here, just recently diagnosed with malignant melanoma, booked in for further wide excision surgery. Lymph node biopsy and skin graft and finding it really hard to find anyone to speak to at this time, which is the only time I have available as I’ve chosen to keep my diagnosis hidden from my children right now as they don’t need to have any further stress after what they’ve been through already xxx

Hi, I’ve just been recently diagnosed and looking on here to just talk at this time as I’ve kept my diagnosis from my children, so can’t speak during the usual working hours, sending you so much love and positive thoughts xxx

Good evening BFA and Kim, and welcome to our friendly family group xx

Aw girls, I really wish you hadn't had reasons to join us, but now that you have, you'll notice that we talk about many things as well as cancer. Eddie is very knowledgeable about medical things and gives great advice on all sorts. So settle in and chat whenever you feel like it.

Sending you both big hugs xxx

Hi BFA, and welcome across to our little thread, and it's understandable to be a little scared so soon in your cancer journey, and to think the worst is human nature, but your team are doing everything they can for you, and I don't know if your scan will show any thing new, but I always see having a scan as catching anything that may be there, early enough to take care of it. As for sleeping my friend all I can suggest is not to go to bed before you think you can fall asleep, as your thoughts can take you everywhere, I'm sure others will be along soon, so if you want to chat away then you're welcome to. Best wishes for your scan and results.

Thank you so much  just feeling pretty lost right now xxx

Thank you so much  it really means the world xxx

You're very welcome my lovely.

The reason I answered both yourself and BFA is because I post on a phone and it's slow, meaning posts tend to cross. But we'll get there. I totally understand you not wanting to say anything yet to your children, but you'll know when the time's right. I also understand the fear of not knowing what scan results will reveal, as I'm my partner's carer. We're over a year on our journey but he had a scan last Tuesday, sending us right back to the beginning with the constant anxiety. I guess that's why we chat here about other things, to take our minds away from harsher issues. How old are your children, if you don't mind me asking? xxx
