Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Hi Kez
We're very well indeed, thanks lovely. Our team won at football, against expectations, we wolfed down a tasty Sunday dinner and I've almost finished tidying up the kitchen. A bit of relaxing time on the cards if I'm lucky.
I didn't know you worked hon, and on a Sunday too. I think you should relax now too, as you've earned it.
Get your feet up when you can sweetheart xxx
You’re not to go anywhere-you’d be very missed. The group is for anyone at any time, so stay where you are please!

What would we do without Pippin pictures Gill? He’s got such a smiley face! It gives us all a boost to see him, and princess Nyx needs a love interest, even just an online one!

I need to get some new pictures of Nyx to put on-I don’t even know what she’s up to just now! She came up to check I was settled in bed and headed back downstairs to snuggle up on the sofa-it’s too early for her to stay with me-she might miss something in the living room.
I’m sure she’d look good sporting something diamanté with her black fur!

Upgrade from princess-I like it!
