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."

Aye, but business class flyers get their grub wrapped in the Financial Times, not the Mirror.
I've started to realise just how much I utter 'ey up' - almost at the beginning of every sentence. Must be summat in the water so you might get afflicted as well, Ukes xxx
My brother mick who owns the pub is in a bad way. He has needed a new hip for a long time. He was on the operating table last year and they said his heart rate was too high so they couldn't do it. He had a funny turn last week and had to lie down while at work. His partner a lovely girl is in hospital with pneumonia and is not doing well. Hope you don't mind me going on about my problems.
