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."

Exactly how l feel, the sense of loosing how things were. Hubby still coughing up blood in the night and had a nose bleed. Consultant doesnt bother much with us. But the last thing he talked about was a stent if the chemo doesnt open the throat.
But the chemo seems to make him ill, hes seems rough today
Hoping hes a bit better tomorrow x
Hope you have a quiet night xx
Early morning to you and Dingg my lovelies.
Just nipped in after falling asleep earlier to say night night. Sorry to hear hubby's still having problems sweetheart, and hopefully he'll start to pick up soon. Such worrying times and I'd be pestering the life out of that consultant, the ignorant sod!
I hope your delivery of Corners turns up nice and early Sonia, so you can get tucked in lovey.
Girlies, let's all try for an earlier night as I reckon we all need the shuteye. Night sweeties, hugs and love xxx
