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."

Welcome to the group. Great to hear your positive story.
you are not annoying anybody. it is good to hear from new members. what part of the world are you from. i am from salford near manchester. we need more northerners.
Good evening Yammy, and another warm welcome from me.
It is indeed good to hear a positive story and you can annoy us lot as much as you like, although I'm sure you won't
Aye hon, you did right to nip things in the bud, with quick thinking, and got the tumour ejected out of your life. My OH's problem is he thinks things will go away by themselves - they don't and by the time the docs got to his tumour it was T4 and that, and a host of other throaty things, had to come out as well. We live and learn sweetie.
Hoping you're doing well and enjoying life now my friend xxx
