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."

Struth! I've only just noticed this Sarah...Perhaps I should look in the Champs section more often.
I understand that there have been changes which mean that it won’t be possible to read messages in email like before.
I wonder why that is? You could see deleted messages so I suppose that's one reason. I wondered why that suddenly happened.
Macmillan are always messing about with their website.

Hi Dani
The issue with reading messages in emails is complying with the online safety act I believe. The issue with the pms being disabled has no “fix” time as yet. There’s been a few posts in the Champs section-I didn’t notice it had been disabled till I read some posts there about it. I know other champs have reported that lots of members are very disappointed things haven’t been resolved yet.

Morning Annette-I see it’s your birthday! Many happy returns and you you enjoy a lovely day.
