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 hon 
Right then, I'll get us off to Maggie's as soon as OH's infection has cleared up, which is almost there.
I hope hubby has a good sleep tonight as all that helps towards recovery. When OH was in ICU he had a fab nurse, Josh, who was years younger than both my daughters but by crikey did he know his stuff, and OH loved him. I hope you can get some zeds in tonight too lovely.
You made me laugh calling Titan clash of the titans - you've got an awesome sense of humour Dingg, so keep hold of it as it comes in really handy when the going gets tough.
Big ups to you both as you're a very courageous pair. Love and hugs sweetheart xxx
