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."

Oh well done! These are lovely.

Oh it’s such a shame to have to take it down in price Jane. I’m so sorry you might not get a garden, I know how much that would mean for you. You are in an expensive part of the country and I understand we all have to make compromises but it just seems so unfair to have to be further from John too.
I am currently tasked with manifesting a lottery win for us tonight so we can buy a bit of land and get a bungalow built to our own specifications, so I’ll let you know if we get a big win later! There should be enough to help a lot of friends!

Imagine the good you could do with one!

Same for us Gill-see the kids right, then help our friends. No desire for fancy cars or extravagant things, just getting another house with a bit more space and then sharing the joy around to make other folks’ lives a little easier. Just need to keep hoping!
