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'm already Yorkie girl born and raised in South Yorkshire. Now living in Surrey as my partner is a Londoner. We both love Yorkshire but family keep us here. We are going to Harrogate in 2 weeks for 4 days then on to my Sister's, she lives near Wakefield. My last trip away before my op.
Afternoon Jen, and you'll always be a Yorkshire lass, no matter where you live now.
My big sister lives in Sheffield, but out in the sticks with some nice rural areas nearby. Our second home is in Wakey - Pinders hospital, for our pains.
You have a wonderful time in Harrogate when you go sweetheart, and try to put your op to the back of your mind by getting busy enjoying yourselves. Hugs, my lovely xxx
That must be our Pippin's best writhe yet, Uki!
I watch Donnie, the cat whisperer, on YouTube every day and this morning he groomed an exceptionally gorgeous Russian cat with very small legs. It's part of their makeup and she was so cute.
No need to get jealous Pips - you're our number 1 xxx
