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."

So that’s one amazing photograph and I am so pleased MrBumble Bee is back where he belongs.
I was doing a few jobs earlier and Number 3 daughter arrived to wish me a “Happy Father’s Day”.
She also brought her hound “Mercury” who is one of Ryders best mates - although he “borrowed” Ryder’s bed in the dining room!
