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."

My cancer was stage 2b, but it came back soon after treatment so it was a horrible time. I was very lucky to get surgery but it meant I had to have everything in my pelvis removed, and I mean everything! I’ve got no bladder or rectum now, so I’ve got 2 stomas. But I’m doing ok thank you!

Absolutely you’re not!
You’re only 10 years older than me, but you know you’re going to get treatment now, and that’s the main thing. Got to keep on going.

My bladder was removed so I have a urostomy for urine and my rectum was removed so I have a colostomy for poo. 2 bags for life, like a buy one get one free offer!

I know how scary it is, that’s for sure, but I always kept trying to move forward and just get the next thing done.
