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."

Thank you Kez
We're back home now and amazingly still in one piece as the taxi driver was shocking! It was like a white knuckle fairground ride - minus the thrills.
Anyway hon, OH is fine and once the numbness wears off we're going to have a Chinese, so no cooking today
Sending hugs back sweetheart xxx
Hi uki I am still in hospital been here for 9 days 4 days in high dependency unit. I wasn't honest with you all. The operation was 13 hours and I needed a skin graft taken from my right thigh which has been very painful. They had to remove my ear which was very painful. I have not been able to get the Internet. It feels good to be back.xxx
