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."

Good for you, Linda
We share a similar story and I hung on to our house too. Hard work but we did it.
Now I've got a lovely chap, but it's so unfair what happened to him. I sometimes wish I could turn back the clock but then we'd have to go through all this again, so I swiftly change my mind. Life's a... you know what!
Big hugs sweetheart xxx
I hope you both enjoy your tea.
As AI is getting worryingly capable, I asked it about the 'Yorkshire Thunder Dance.' AI either has a sense of humour or its answer suggests you need to equip yourself with some swords and a few Morris dancers. The traditional Yorkshire Longsword Dance mimics the complex swirling patterns of storms. Tell OH to take cover. xxx
