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."

You deserve a moan now and then Gill-you’re always keeping the rest of us going. High ceilings are a blooming nuisance-I was trying to to reach up the bedroom walls with the feather duster today without much success but the stepladder was still in the cupboard under the stairs so I gave up!

Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a view of the sea? We once went for a look round 3 of these different caravans just to check them out, and they were amazing…everything you’d need to be very comfortable but no money to buy one!
