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 had a different cancer but did have radiotherapy and it was 5 days a week with weekends off, and that’s quite a common pattern for this kind of treatment. It is tiring going to hospital every day, but you can catch up on sleep at the weekends-I certainly needed to! Once you get your plan, you’ll settle into a routine with it.
I hope you’ve got some good family support around you.

Your toooo kind my friend, but I appreciate it. Enjoyment is what matters, I think you are more like Hattie Jacques matron character in the carry on films, a heart of gold, but someone not to be messed with. Well did half an hour do it for you?, I think the country has been dumbing down for years, and recently I've been joining them, lol, Helen does get around, she's amazing, as are you my friend. We've just been out with the dogs and it's lovely outside, so if the bedrooms to hot
, I'll be sleeping on the swing seat.
love Eddie and Sheila xx
That's a fabulous idea Eddie, to sleep outside. If only, but I was reading outdoors earlier and although still hot, it was nicer as the sun had gone round the other side of our house.
Hattie Jacques - love it!
