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 Linda 
Sorry for the delay in replying but a mini emergency cropped up involving OH - sorted now, fingers crossed 
Even though England eventually won last night his coupon still ended up in the bin as the other game spoiled it. I'd actually predicted a win for DRC and boy, was I disappointed when they lost. Undeserved imo, and I would have pocketed almost £600 if they'd won. I've not bothered with the bookies today. 
Have a lovely evening sweetie xxx
Hello Tracey (HelpingDad)
Thank you for your latest post - I understand why you are taking that route.
You now - if you haven't done it already need to contact your local Council, let them know the score and obtain a "Care Needs Assessment" via the Council Adult Social Care department. (Dad will end up with his own Social worker or he would with our Council)
They will be able to let you know if your dad is entitled to any funded care or financial help and also if you are entitled to any equipment and adaptions - grab rails and shower safety equipment etc.
Our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) are brilliant for advice on this subject.
