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."

That must be a beautiful place to visit, Helen.
It's great having Helen's World on tap and we'll miss the views and history lessons when you return to Blighty,
It was lovely Gill. We've passed by Bernay so many times but never stopped there before.
We've only got 2 more nights before we go home but we'll be back over in September

You must be glad you finally made the stop in Bernay as it looked well worth it.
Crikey, the time's flown by - it doesn't seem more than 5 minutes since you set off! A slight exaggeration but September will quickly whip round too. In the meantime you'll be able to spend quality time with Thora and Remy, and no doubt she'll be mega excited in her run-up to big school. Bless the little snot monsters, or is that more Remy?
Hugs, love and safe travels xxx
Hi Uki ️ I've not stopped thinking about them both since I heard what happened and feel pretty flat.
Yourself and Brian were close to the mark as I looked at causes too. It's devastating for them and I pray the docs have managed to stabilise hubby
Hoping you and yours are ok, hon xxx
