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 all yesterday was my 10 day post op laparoscopic hysterectomy and I had to go to the hospital because of very heavy bleeding. This morning I got knocked out again and they stitched up where the bleed was coming from. Has anyone who had a hysterectomy experienced this?

So sorry to hear what happened yesterday, but I hope you're doing better today my lovely.
Have you tried posting your question on the womb cancer group, just in case there's no-one around to give a response here?
Wishing you all the best for a good recovery from your latest procedure sweetheart xxx

It's a cracking 30c here amongst the "dark satanic mills of England's green and pleasant Land" - Well Oldham!! . That's 6c above our place in Turkey at this moment!
Even the dog's refusing to go out today!
Enjoy it people BUT ensure you have the right protection from the sun - it doesn't take long in this temperature to burn. It's even worse for us fair skined and ginger!
