Make sure you surrender your licence Phil and don't wait until they take it off you. Otherwise when you want it back the DVLA will drag their feet as
long as possible before returning it. Also when applying for it back do it as soon as possible as it will not be exactly quick. and keep asking your
consultant if you can have it back. They seem to lose fact of how important such things can be to people. Now you are in the system it will all
happen very quick.
Good luck with the treatment and let the adventure begin. 
Thanks for the advice. I'm planning to surrender it on Thursday (after op on Wednesday) as my son is taking me and he's a named driver on my policy. If I don't have a licence, I can't be the main driver on the policy for my son to be a named driver. I'll then try to insure my car in his name as he is only a named driver on his partners policy. My wife can't drive on the motorway so have to rely on my son to ferry me about now. After Wednesday, its going to be about 4 weeks before treatment on the tumor (apparently to allow brain incision scare to heel) so will have time to sort insurance out.
Ted - symptoms have been occasional tingling/pins & needles (intense ache) below left knee that lasts about a minute - no seizures or blackouts. Brain guy perscribed some tablets to stop the 'episodes' but takes a few weeks to take effect I'm told. So, hopefully when all treatment complete and confirmed by consultant, not too long in getting licence back.
Thanks again for all well wishes and lets all get back to talking about bikes!
