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."

Good Morning Gill (Gill H )
Yes the good old days. Ours was called a “guzzunder” as it went under the bed and at the bottom of the back yard in the outhouse we had a “tippler toilet”. Modern technology for it’s day.
I feel for Dingg as she’s suffering from the NHS not being properly joined up and there’s no standard plan for their situation.
Ryder’s been on his morning walk and is now sleeping in his bed although he can hear the fridge door opening from 200 yards away!! He’s just had a weeks holiday in Wales where he’s been free to run on the beach.
He’s now a retired athlete and it’s his 7th birthday this month although we have only had him about 9 months.
Kind regards-Brian.

Thanks so much for letting Ryder join the group, Brian 
OH and me are now smiling at your champion boy xxx
Hello Gill (Gill H )
Ryder is his kennel name and the name he answers to. His racing name was "Headford Holly" (if you lost any money on him it's not my fault!!)
We have his records and he raced 78 times, every race at Perry Barr in Birmingham and he won 16 of those, between 2020 and 2023. He then spent almost 2 years in the dog's home before we adopted him.
Kind regards - Brian.

He's a very lucky lad, landing up at yours and living the high life 
No Brian, I've never bet on the dogs, nags and football only, so Ryder's not in the dog house here. I love him, it's impossible not to smile when a lovely furry comes on the scene

Sending you both the very best for today sweetheart. Massive hugs and love from OH and me Uki, and hoping that anxiety will be chased away when you get the results xxx 
Good luck, it doesn't matter how many times we go through this - it's always a nervous time.
