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."

I love the Two Ronnies as well, Sonia xx
Hey, you wouldn't have liked my SOH this morning - it was replaced by swearing at the top of my voice until I exhausted myself. Not recommended hon, but I don't often do decorum and especially when riled. Peace and calm have settled on the house - for now xxx
As soon as I read that I laughed OH looked at me and wrote ' Debs or Sonia?' on his board.
He knows now why I keep laughing when looking at my phone. Debs is another lovely friend and is the same as yourself, writing like we're having a real conversation and well funny too xxx
Aw she is hon, besides two other lovelies, but we haven't heard from our 5th friend on the group for months and we don't think he's with us now, sadly.
Yes, I tell OH about you all and he likes what he hears. He's not completely up to date just yet as so many have joined lately, but it's good to know that folk consider this a safe space xxx
They certainly are, and Alllmum another close to your area, which is great, especially for our Brian
Well I'll tidy the kitchen up now and see if anything's worth watching on the telly before TLC time. Always lovely chatting hon, and you enjoy your evening - I hope you get another good kip when you're ready to settle down, sweetheart xxx
