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."

Hi Kez
Well, OH seems better than he was but it's so hard to tell really. Like, is he being upfront or keeping it to himself so as not to worry me further? All of which worries me further. Trying to get info out of him is like the proverbial squeezing blood out of a stone!
Suffice to say I'm on permanent hawk watch and have now got him anti sickness tablets, as that was one of his symptoms, probably caused by the antibiotics. Deary me.
Anyway sweetheart, I hope you're ok and enjoying the boiling weather - that's if it's reached bonny Scotland yet. Hugs my lovely xxx
Edited to add: the very best of luck for next week sweetheart xxx
Hiya Ukiboyo
Seeing our Pippin on the prowl is just what the doctor ordered, and I'll be showing OH his sweet photo once he gets up.
Don't know about you, but my erstwhile phone's giving me a lot of gip with logging in and other issues - it might need to see the phone doctor.
Anyway hon, you're not the only one who's pants with tech as I'm probably even worse. Enjoy Pippin and your garden and hope you're all ok. Hugs and love Ukibaby (pinched from Dingg) xxx
