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."

  • A Sunday dinner presents no problems Steve, but I've never attempted cassoulet... that's Helen's department Yum xxx

  • Oi! Get back here! Yes you! Where are going?

    This thread is BY you and FOR you, whether you are feeling good, bad or ugly.

    It's not a competition where some are more worthy than others. There will days when very ill people are up for cheering up others and sharing their wisdom and days when folks who are doing ok just don't feel like chatting much.

    There will be times when people will have a nifty bit of advice or a solution and other times when lots of virtual hugs are on offer.

    Nobody, not even you, can take up too much time, ok ? Heart️

    Take care
