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."

Had chemo today on my birthday! Nurses gave me 2 presents...a new blood cancer treatment log book (my old one was full!) and a prescription of steroids!! 
Happy birthday to me!! Oh, and a blood test form for my next blood test!
Nurse said I have something to Trump others at dinner parties now!! Chemo on my birthday 
Many Happy Returns of the day Julie 
my lovely!
Well I doubt your birthday 'gifts' will be topped by others you'll receive, so make sure you use them to the max! Seriously though hon, I do hope everything's going as well as possible, but you enjoy the rest of your birthday and take some time out to pamper yourself if you can.
Birthday hugs and love coming your way xxx
Greetings Uki 
Well that sounds like good news hon, so I'm hoping some of the dratted anxiety has disappeared into the ether 
You've not been alone in the hospital stakes, as OH and me also spent several hours in one not that many miles from you two. It's been about the rash he developed the other week and I wasn't happy, so I rang the GP but no appointments till Friday tea time! I immediately told him we were going to the walk-in centre, not knowing we wouldn't be walking back out again for almost 5 hours. Hopefully all sorted now but I'm on closer hawk watch than usual and he's got his orders from me.
Uki, you weren't moaning earlier sweetie - that's one crown I'm not prepared to relinquish. Big hugs to you and Hilary from us xxx
You're really being spoilt.
