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."

I went to peg out and got logged out. Grrrr
Fingers crossed you'll be heading off to Scotland tomorrow Uki, as besides the beautiful place that it is, the fresher air will do you both the world of good. Superb! xxx
Hi everybody and welcome to our new members joining us on this lovely day of sunshine.
Oh my goodness, this thread moves so quickly that I’m just not keeping up if I’m away from it for a couple of days, so I’m sorry if I’ve missed a lot. Sending hugs to those of you with poorly partners and hoping things get better for you all. And hugs too to those of you who are struggling with worry and pain. I love Uki’s thought of holding a light in the darkness for others-that’s wonderful.
Uki, I see you are going to Scotland so I hope you’ll both enjoy being in the land of my birth! Loving seeing Pippin lounging in the grass. Nyx is exhausted chasing any random fly who dares to enter while the door is open, so may conk out soon.
I have been very busy..doing a good fettle-us northerners will understand that! And going to the hairdresser to get a very short cut in anticipation of being in the sun on our upcoming holiday. I’ve had a big delivery of medical supplies today-the nice driver kindly took it into the living room as I can’t lift the boxes!
Waiting for the chemist to text to say my prescription will be ready-that’ll be another couple of big bags. They advised last month that we need to wait up to 4 days for it to be ready after the gp authorises it so it’s a balancing act not to run out before it’s ready!
We have a relaxing weekend planned-it’s my birthday on Monday and I am thinking of having some sort of cake related treat! I try to be very good with my diabetes, but one cake will be ok hopefully! Don’t want to undo all my good work though, but might even have a celebratory drink if I fancy it.
The rest of the afternoon will be quiet-hoping that OH will get away early from work to start the weekend off on a good note.
