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."

We've got our fan on too lovey, and I must have gulped down at least a gallon of water already, as the heat makes me thirsty and lethargic at the same time.
Deffo order choc Cornettos but don't leave out the Muller Corners as they're good for indulgence too, all thoroughly deserved sweetheart.
Keep cool my lovely xxx
Well, I was a silly arse today. Scrabbling over rocks to get to the beach, lost my balance and fell. Backside in a rock pool hand and elbow grazed and cut. Glasses anywhere. Daughter and OH told me off for coming a more difficult way. Luckily my daughter found my glasses. What a fool.
