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."

Well done for doing the trial titanium hope it helps. Like you say if it will benefit other people then it is worthwhile. Sending big hugs.xxx
Evening cherub ️
Well I dozed off this afternoon as I got too comfy, but just caught up on posts after our tea. Lovely messages from you guys to Titan, and I hope his treatment pays dividends to both himself and others as it's a really decent thing to do.
Well done for relaxing this afternoon Sonia, and I drooled at the thought of your fruit and nut choc. Also, thinking of Ray's carpets and slippers, mam always made us wear them as shoes weren't allowed indoors - it might be a European thing. But we never referred to them as carpet slippers. When I was very young I thought they were on about slippers made from bits of carpet! Crazy.
Enjoy your evening sweetheart xxx
Evening Gill welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your snooze.thank you for your kind words. Titan is very brave wish him all the best. Carpet slippers I remember calling them that. That made me laugh how you thought they were made from bits of carpet. Enjoy your evening too lovely.xxx
We will thanks my lovely OH didn't watch cricket as it was rained off, but when I went downstairs he had flipping rugby on and I can't decide which is worse!
Anyway hon, Bohemian Rhapsody is on at 9pm and although I've seen it before, OH wants me to watch it with him, so I will as it's a decent film and I want to keep him company.
Hugs and love sweetie xxx
