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 fully agree, the folk here are all amazing and have kept me going, as have others on another much smaller group. Love to you all.
If that's Dani (Beesuit's group) then you are in another great group. She's amazing.

That's Morcambe Bay with the Lake District in the background.
It's cooled here quite a bit this evening. Alan's in bed and I'm listening to Paul Okenfold, Starry Eyed Surprise being my favourite of his tracks.
I got my cancer diagnosis 2 years ago yesterday so I'm having a little alcoholic celebration tonight that I'm out the other side

I bought a couple of chocolate flavoured stouts from Aldi ( other outlets are available) and a couple of magnum chocolate ice-creamds
Super healthy. OH has been on Oxycodone and has found it difficult starting to reduce the dose. She's gone down from 60mg to 45mg and the side effects have not been great. Lots of being sick and feeling a burnt sensation. Has anyone here had experience of this.
