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."

that was the Worzels, Uki, but they were slightly better looking than the Grumbleweeds - apart from their lead singer.
It's not a great memory and they were all about twice our age. I bet their wives wouldn't have been happy.
Have you got the sun out in bonnie Scotland yet Ukibaby? xxx
We will. OH had a bit of a wobble yesterday. We parked to get a Subway. Daughter went in to get them. OH already stressed from getting ready to set off. Then a drunk guy came over to the car wanting money and she just burst into tears and told him she had cancer. Felt so unable to do anything apart from comfort her. She just said she felt out of kilter with the rest of the world.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
