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 again Titan Wave 

    Great attitude to have, and I reckon you'll see your grandsons achieve everything they want in life.

    I agree, cancer can bog off but I've got other, unprintable, words to tell it where to go!

    Enjoy your weekend as much as you can my friend xxx

    Thanks I am just fed up . Got so many appointments coming up what with blood tests chemo and immunotherapy  and picc line dressing changes hetic . Had to cancel summer holiday to Majorca as not recommendd  to travel by hospital . So going to try and have days out with coach companies  

  • Hi Titan Blush 

    I'm not surprised you're cheesed off, what with all that lot coming up. We have similar, albeit different treatments, but we get sick to the back teeth with appointments and it's got to the point hospitals have become our second homes - not good.

    Another thing that's not good is your cancelled holiday. It's a shame but a great idea to get out and about by coach. I hope there are some lovely areas you won't have to travel far to enjoy.

    Take care hon xxx
