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."

Hi Uki ️

When he's not talking about himself has your FiL ever mentioned a long-lost sister? If yes, she could quite possibly be OH's mother as she possesses all his traits. Small world

Evening Amanda

It's supposed to be less humid from tomorrow so that will provide some relief.

Aw what a smashing treat to have someone else waiting on you my lovely - thoroughly deserved.

It's lovely here now compared to yesterday but I've still got my little fan running.

Last night we went and sat out in the garden at about 9:30 to cool down. It was so hot yesterday that I lived in my nightie all day.

We ought to put them together in a room. He once said to me " I'm a good commentator, aren't I." I said "You're a good talker." It went over his head.

That made me laugh Gill.xx

I'm not surprised when they're as self obsessed as that, Uki.

It's unlikely he'd get many words in over her relentless narcissistic chatter, but maybe they could play Top Trumps over who's looking the best, as in utterly gorgeous, in their advanced age.

I am not surprised Gill. I wouldn't like her for a MiL.
