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."

It's kind of like a series of online interview between two or more people, usually with a theme. There's one with Josh Widicomb about parenting hell. There are ones about history, cooking etc. I like one that Kathryn Ryan does where she talks to people about their lives and struggles and then a doctor does test to work out their biological age.

Hi Uki ️
If you get this then your phone's ok, apart from putting photos on.
This weather makes me so lethargic I have to force myself to even move. It's horrible. The film we watched last night was East is East - I've seen it a couple of times but OH hasn't in its entirety.
Soz Uki, my eyes are like lead. Hope you're having a lovely time hon xxx
