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 Sarah, Annette has asked me to tell you the computer gremlins have struck, and she's having issues logging on, and wants you to know, she's not ignoring you, and will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

If I can pass on a message to Annette for you my friend, I'd be happy to.

love Eddie and Sheila xx
