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."

When you sent those of the motorhome yesterday, I went back to around page 6 or so and found a conversation we'd shared with LolaBear about motorhomes, as she had one too. At the time you were looking forward to a holiday in France, but that was for June '25. We were all newbies here then - time flies.
That was after my chemo ended. We waited for the 3 weeks after chemo to pass then headed off, we came back in time for Sarah's wedding in July.
Time does fly.

Aye, I read those posts about Alan's parents too. It's like the eternal return for you both, but thankfully you're in much better health now.
It seemed like only yesterday reading those year old posts, and apart from Brian I think we're the only ones still posting regularly.
I hope you're having something nice for supper xxx
