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
Good advice from Kez and especially with keeping hydrated. If I still drank I'd be doing the same with about 5 cans but I don't, so water's good enough.
How are you doing with your battle wounds today lovey - hopefully they're healing well?
Big hugs sweetheart xxx
Aw that's great news hon, and good to know you're eating well too.
Yes it's too hot again, but the Cornettos might be out later as we're still full from our tea. I also ate a bar of chocolate that was a peace offering from OH as he'd seriously annoyed me this afternoon.
Anything planned for viewing tonight sweetie? Now the World Cup's over there might be a better choice xxx
