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."

Sometimes you just have to laugh…especially on the days both bags choose to burst! I can’t move quickly nowadays and it’s a long way for me to go to get upstairs to sort myself out. You need a sense of humour then.

You moan whenever you want Jo. We are hear to listen and help if we can-this is a great group of lovely friends we’ve made here.

Oh, I get that-I take medication for my anxiety and it helps a lot.

I used to be like that-I had very poor bladder control. Now I just have my bag and it attaches to a bigger bag at night so I don’t have to get up in the night any more!

When I was having my radiotherapy I was hopeless! Tena pads every day and clean underwear in my bag to change afterwards. It was so embarrassing but the staff were lovely and they’ve seen it all before.
