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."

Evening Sonia 
To be honest today was pants but don't worry hon, I'm a big (!) girl and can take owt thrown at me. It's poor OH who doesn't cope well and did a Uki special, as in eye leakage.
All's well again and I've left him downstairs watching something about folk going missing - I didn't fancy it.
How are you doing my love? And do you like the sound of Uki's Oops club, as I think it's a great way to 'relieve' any issues in the lower portions, of which I dealt with many times in the recent past. Being a carer yourself you'll know all about that xxx
Hugs gratefully received sweetheart 
Yes, OH was better once we got home, but I'm trying to get him out more, not just to hospitals but the local community. It's very isolating for him, being unable to speak and it's awful that he can no longer even ask for something in a shop. I have to do all that now and he feels like a burden, as he's written it down a couple of times. He's not but trying to get it through to him is proving difficult, hence the regular tears.
Oh dear, we can be a sorry bunch but I know you guys get it and I've also got my smaller gang on another forum. All the job lot of you are the best friends I've ever known, even though we all started out as strangers.
TLC won't be for another half hour yet and I already feel better for talking about being such a miserable rat bag earlier today. As we say around these parts - it'll be reyt. Big hugs back hon xxx
Evening Helen 
You know what - I've worn boxers for years! It started when my big girl pants got a bit too bloody big but the elastic was digging in at the tops of my legs, so I borrowed a pair of OH's grundies and never looked back. Highly recommended for luxurious comfort.
Thanks hon, reset done and all back in order.
Your latest shots are superb, especially the rainbow, but don't knock that glass over unless you want pink crochet! Big hugs to you and Alan xxx
No worries Sonia, back to normal now but I know how caring you all are, and I'm grateful 
️
Well it's TLC time now - how quickly did that come round? - so I'll go down and start getting things ready.
Everything's off my chest now, except my t-shirt, and thanks again sweet cheeks, love ya hon xxx
Evening Ukibaby 
The Gene Wilder version is the best, bar none! Hey, I've seen it so many times that I know all the songs and most of the dialogue. Whenever it's on telly I need to watch it, and Gene's fab in all his films.
Uki, you are far too kind my friend as that miserable inner rat bag comes out far too often for my liking - I need to get her back in her box!
You remain King of the Leaks your majesty, OH is merely a prince, a pretender to your crown if you will. He's having a damn good go at it though!
Thanks Uki, you're a star xxx
