thank you Steph , lots of cancer patients wake up early worrying about their cancer and the impacted it has on their whole family lives. that's why I done the blog to try and help people. shame I can't do this for myself.

Hi simon IVA 

I think it's really positive that you've created this discussion. Sometimes people say that when helping others, it helps them feel much better too. Thank you for caring and I hope the Community will provide you with the support you need.

It's positive to see that the chat has gotten started in the emotional support forum. Please do check in there anytime you're worried - the more times you post in the early hours, the more people will see it and join the thread to share support. 

You can set up new chats in the forums whenever you like, so if there's a discussion that you'd like to see anywhere, please do feel free to start a chat.

Take care and do let us know if you would like support with anything else.

My biggest tumour presses on my bladder with the result that I pee every hour. So 3am, 4am, 5am, and so on. I see it all.  You are right though, 4am feels like a time we should not be awake. I can remember being 20 and still up with my mates at 4am, but that was different! Nowadays I do one of the following: early breakfast! Desk time! Art projects! The thing NOT to do Absolutely NOT to do EVER is doom-scrolling on the phone. That is wasting your life
