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."

  • There used to be a similar joke based on a TV series. It imagined a rural couple getting ready to sit down for their evening meal. The wife says 'We've got the vicar for tea, dear.'   Hubby replies 'Humph. Makes a change from salad.'

  • I agree. 76 here. A lot of modern humour relies on shock and turning the atmosphere blue. It sometimes makes me smile, but Four Candles (Fork Handles) 'classic' humour still makes me laugh when seeing the sketch for the umpteenth time. 

  • You're a star, Titan, and a hero for taking part in the trial, but fancy probably being the only one. Everything crossed that it works its magic sweetheart and you take good care as you'll want to see those gorgeous cherubs this weekend. Hugs and love xxx

    Spot on lass, football gets the blood pumping, releases the endorphins and gives the old jaws a cracking workout! I honestly don't know how we'd cope without it and I'm already sick of the close season - roll on August.

    I'm hoping we'll get to Elland Road next season and I'll definitely check out their disabled facilities, so thanks for the tips hon.Thumbsup

    My older sister had a knee replacement a few years ago and was incapacitated for months! I hope you're recovered from it now lovey xxx
