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."

Evening Sonia ️
Prince is a diamond and I'm sure him being with you, and taking everything in, made your appointment so much better.
The waiting will soon be over and when everything's done and dusted we can get back to talking Muller Corners here, amongst other important things.
Well done today sweetheart, and sending lots of love and hugs xxx
Great news about the Mullers - you're allowed to indulge yourself
OH's been very upbeat thanks hon, and he should be getting an appointment before too long from the clinical psychologist. Things are moving forward for him now, hopefully, but his bet for tonight's matches might have other ideas It's ok though as we've both laughed over his crummy predictions.
You look after yourself sweetheart xxx
