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."

Thank you Gill Ukibaby and everyone in the gang
Thank you for such kind words.
On here is a safe space were ordinary people become hero's in the face of suffering and uncertainty. Its a testament of true heroic human courage from the gang that has helped me be strong.
Also the love for our families who we see going through this and those having treatment going through cancer. All in a little boat tossed around in choppy seas.
But when the rescue ships see us we haven't given up, we have tended the wounded, bandaged our hearts and swigged some rum, singing sea shanties with our little lantern of hope, memory making that's an eternal flame. Thanks for the prayers, sending prayers too 
Thanks to Pippin angel cat, looks like he's made of ice cream dreaming dreams only cats know lol x
Had a rough few days, hubby still here though back to seafaring terms he nearly fell out of the life boat a few times
Really shattered will update what happened to us
Just put my head above water Dinghy, so a bit late to the shanty party but you and Cap'n hubby are doing the very best possible job at keeping afloat against the odds. You're an inspiration, without a shadow of a doubt and renew my faith in the human spirit every time you post.
Brilliant news that hubby's improving and even watched the footy! Keep battling hubster, and show this beggar who's boss!
Many thanks for the update me hearty, and as RayMan said, you're always in our thoughts and prayers
Love and hugs to you and your Superman xxxxx
