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."

Yes. There's no point in trying to work out why it's happening. Just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other. My afternoon involves picking up some more Ensures from the chemist then a trip to the shop to pick up a few bits. My husband is a Villa fan so need some nibbles for guests coming to watch the Europa final tomorrow night. He's having a post lunch nap. Have a good day.
I hope you avoid having to go to A&E and get help at home if possible.
Hi Lop.
There's little chance of a home visit, so I'll play it by ear until we get a result.
Talking of results, good luck for your hubby's team tomorrow night - I'm guessing you're in the Midlands with him being a Villa fan. Get plenty of treats in for the match and enjoy! We'll be watching it too as we're big football fans, but it's mighty Leeds for us MOT.
Hopefully you'll have a pleasant day sweetheart. Sending you both hugs xxx
