Awake and up all night

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I can understand you not telling your children but have you a friend or family member you can talk to.

I told my kids (36 & 38) straight away as I knew they were able to handle it. Also my daughter in law is a GP and she's been a great help. Practically, I wouldn't have been able to hide the surgery from them anyway.

I hope you managed to get some sleep. There is usually a listening ear here at most times.

Morning all 

I went to bed a bit later last night and slept really well until about 4:30. As usual I've been catching up with some TV since.

Morning Helen, I'm with Alan and not keen on Stevia, it's ok in baking, but I've never really had a sweet tooth, anyway how are you both doing today and have you anything nice planned, I'm having a rest stop near Northampton on my way home to sunny Yorkshire. It's never stopped raining since I dropped Sheila off at Heathrow.

love Eddie xx 

 Sbird the blueberries sound nice, give the porridge a nice bit colour.  I don't know about using water instead of milk.  Am I a softie? Sugar, not salt as well. 

When I was on the hormones, I was the 'Ready Brek' kid with the 'Hot Flushes'.

Hi Steve, your a softie my friend, but PCa does that to us, oooh the hot flushes, I'm having them for the second time, their quiet handy with the cooler weather, and thankfully nothing like round 1.

Hi Eddie

I'm waiting for a Tesco delivery atm (other supermarkets are available) and I've got to go and give the grandkids their tea tonight while James goes to nursery parents evening, Ashleigh (DiL) is at work today. No other plans. 

It's raining here now but at least it's warm.

I hope you don't miss Sheila too much.

My Mum always made our porridge with water, too big a family to use milk

If you microwave the porridge with the blueberries they go a bit 'jammy' - yummy

I have posted this in the travel insurance group but thought I'd let you all know about my little win.

Being motorhomers we luckily had year round multi-trip travel insurance with The Caravan Club when I was diagnosed with womb cancer in July 2024. When I told them about my diagnosis they said that I would not be covered for the cancer until 6 months after my treatment ends but would still be covered for everything else. So 6 months passed on Saturday and I called them this morning and true to their word I am now fully covered again, I also had a confirmation letter emailed to me within minutes.

Mmm...

• Im newly diagnosed, awaiting the plan and I'm often sleepless. This is where I'll be at 3am.
