You are making good progress, really pleased for you.
Regarding insurance, you have an obligation to inform your insurance company of any material fact that may affect your insurance risk. The term is double indemnity. If you withhold, and that includes not mentioning, even if it is not asked for, something which later may become or be made to become a material fact and as a result of that there is an incident then you may expect your insurer to refuse to pay all or part of any claim, and unite rightly.
For example, if you have limited vision and, just because your insurer do not ask about it, you do not tell them, they would have the right to refuse cover in the event of a claim. I do not know a lot about PCa, thankfully, but I know a bit about this topic.
Your choice though.
Regarding whether and when or not your are competent on a bike? Only you can really know that. And that would be best established by trial and error. Have you been on any short trips? Are you able to handle the bike at different speeds? Can you put it on a stand okay?
The "six weeks" quoted is not a line that you cross, suddenly over night you become safe and competent. Whereas at 5 weeks and 6 days you are nit safe, and without knowing what criteria it is based on, you do not know if it applies to you or is worth anything other than it is someones view of Mr Average.
IIWM I would be concerned about being safe so that I come home in one piece, and being safe so that I do not cause any harm to anyone else. Proving that to a 3rd party in the event of an incident may be your problem, and if you can prove that you were safe etc, you may go for it. But don't be tempted to hide anything, even if not asked for.
