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."

Hello Titaniumx20
I don't know if you are aware but as well as this group, the Community is divided up into cancer specific groups where you can get support from others travelling the same or similar journey as yourself. If you let me know what type of cancer you have you I can direct you to that group for support.
We also have this group you may wish to consider joining and here's the link:
