Awake and up all night

That's a fabulous age for a cat, especially if he had a tough start. Mine likes to pretend she's big and tough, until she realises she's half the size of the others. 

Cats are brilliant at pretending - that's why I find them so appealing. That and their aloofness. My good friend from the Head and Neck cancer forum has just acquired three kittens and they're adorable xxx

Only one thing better than 1 kitten and that has to be 3! 

Definitely and not only that, she also has two giant Leonberger dogs! The five of them are starting to get acquainted - interesting times ahead and we're waiting for photos and videos of them getting to know each other.

Your teens sound like when my two were younger, staying up till god knows when and sleeping till tea time the next day. I just left them to it xxx

I remember meeting a leonburger years ago, absolutely gorgeous and huge. I'm sure the kittens will soon establish themselves as the bosses.

Yes, and I'm trying not to worry them any more than I have to which is hard when I've been in and out of hospital with problems. 

They have been lovely today, sorting out housework for me and cooking. I'm very lucky with them. 

That's really lovely of them and I'm sure it makes things easier for yourself. You've obviously got some smashing kids there.

When you start your chemo, if it's the type that causes nausea, take any anti sickness meds your team supplies to help you through. My OH was lucky that he had RT but no chemo - I know some who said the meds were a great help. I'm sending you all the best for Wednesday and hope you'll keep us posted how the treatment goes. Fingers crossed it won't keep you awake, but this group are here all day and super friendly and supportive, so drop in anytime. I've not been lucky enough to get up close to a Leon, but for such huge dogs they seem really gentle xxx

Thanks Gill, I'm going to try and settle down and see if I can drop off.

Good idea love, and I'll give it a go too. Night hon, sleep well  

Hi

I'm sorry that you've found yourself here due to your diagnosis. 

It's not unusual to struggle to sleep as the mind races.

Morning all

I had another disturbed night with my stomach so it was a simple breakfast of boiled eggs for me today.

I hope the overnight chatty ones got some sleep.
