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. Yes, I managed to get a snap of the truck
on its way down to Ray's. A nice and tasty round-off after his evening chow.
We've just finished ours but I can't be bothered to wash up. Has your appetite stayed ok or have you had any problems with eating hon? Hopefully not xxx
Edit: I didn't mean Ray would be eating the truck...
Thanks sweetheart, it'll leave till morning and there isn't much.
Oh thank goodness you can eat ok. I was worried that if it was bad you might have had a feeding tube, so that's good to know.
After I answered your last post, four more popped up that weren't there before. Something's very odd with my phone but it makes it look like I'm ignoring posts.
Which biscuits are your favourite hon? As long as they're dunked I love em all. Except fig biscuits! xxx
Mmm me too.
OH had a RIG tube that went through his abdomen directly into his stomach, but that was because he wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything for 2 months. He didn't use it at all for a further 4 months but it was kept in place in case he needed it. I had to flush it twice a day to avoid infections. I was glad when that task came off my list.
Are you bothering with the football tonight hon? Playing for third place is a bit of a no no xxx
