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."

Hi Brian
Yes we said we'd try and laugh through it myself and hubby.
At hospital most of today. Thanks to Gill and ukibaby for support thought l was at breaking point. Rang oncology.
Bit more again. He was checked again 7pm today oncology, let us go home. Suspected thrombosis in arm but can't give blood thinners as the distended stomach pushing his rib cage and its being drained 9am at hospital. But hour ago hubby was breathing heavy. Had to ring oncology then 999
Consensus its prob the fluid pressing rib cage, but 999 will ring back later to check us. I felt like l didnt want to waste their time but it is breathing. Glad l didn't have to make decisions on it by myself thats not right. But all ok looks like back on feeding tube. Ambulance man on call line said how are you hubby says good.....
He's bit better but in the wrong position he breathes heavy looks like that flipping fluid.
He's on the feed I'm getting a snack. Yes the house where gerry was took 4 direct hits in Blitz but they didn't go off or were defused etc. My father was in the house too lol as he said so often no one bothered to evacuate him xxx
Evening Dingg 
You don't need to reply sweetheart, you get a snack and some well earned rest, but just to let you know it's great to hear hubby's feeling better and back on his feeding tube. And well done for getting the ambulance guys on side, as I've often found they were more on the ball than some doctors were in our case.
Now you try and get as much sleep as you can. Hugs and love chicken xxx
