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."

Morning Dingg
You've got my day off to a cracking start - sheep's head the gardener and the rest! Not just a Welsh thing though, as we call the old lass round the back Mrs Overall, amongst others, but I'd love to know their nicknames for us - or maybe not!
Thanks so much for giving me a laugh hon, and fingers crossed for a better day for you both. Lots of love xxx
Dingg, I keep getting logged out so just seen your other post about hubby still coughing up blood and other things.
I know how much you want him to come home lovely, but it's clear you're nervous with how you'll manage. Unless the hospital's got a good care plan in place for this, and you're happy with it, don't let them push you into signing the discharge paperwork. The last thing you need are problems at home.
Really hoping things work out well for you today sweetheart xxx
Morning Helen
Thanks lovey, I've been up to OH a couple of times this morning and he appears to be feeling better. He'd better not be having me on!
It looks like you're not having problems with the site, but I am this side of the channel as there's no sign of a post from Tanyay.
Anyway, you and Alan keep on having a grand holiday and the weather's going to be fab. Enjoy! xxx
