Hi , I was just settling down for the night but thought I would just say.....
I’m sorry you find yourself here and that clearly you are struggling to sleep! But hope you enjoy getting to know all the ‘Fruit Loops‘, that’s what we call ourselves. If you read through some of the MANY posts, you’ll see why!
You might also get to meet LP our Good Luck mascot, (a guinea pig wearing Lucky Pants) you starting to see where the name Fruit Loops came from!
we are all here to help support each other through all the different stages of Breast Cancer and any other Cancer for that matter! We are all at different stages and so are able to offer advice, support, a virtual hug or most importantly A Bloody Good Laugh! Yes believe it or not you are allowed to laugh even if you have Cancer, although you can also cry too! Sometimes you end up doing both!
Hope you enjoy getting to know everyone! Although we are called the AWAKE thread because it was started when I couldn’t sleep. We post both day and night. Everyone is welcome so join in as much or as little as you want! Sal xxxx
Hugs Hope they sort you out.
Northerner. Love the textiles , gorgeous colours. You are clearly an arty family after your kitchen transformation.
. welcome. Glad you found this thread as the nighttime can't be the worse when the 'what ifs' creep in.
LondonLass. Hope tomorrow goes well xx
Morning all!
i slept but got woken by next door neighbour crashing out of her house and zooming off in her car just after midnight, for just under 20 minutes....crazy woman!
and this morning someone said that three men were arrested at a service station....hopefully the police took their un-roadworthy van off them!
Thinking of everyone who has appointments/treatments/whatever today and hope all goes well for you
Hugs xxx

I'm currently awaiting a scan which is 24th june as due on and she worried about cancer markers yes I understand that they can show bo relevance to ny disease as last scan showed shrinkage..though year on I've learned to live with this disease and without support from obvious friends family Macmillan physcolgist forums like this help beyond words you understand little worry there us bo judgement just love is unconditional and full of care and warmth I thank you xxx
