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."

  • Well I didn't try to clone you with Charles Hawtrey as that could have been insulting.

    The first thing I thought at the mention of Max Mosely was "who?" so now I'm off to look him up xxx

  • Turns out they had enough problems of their own. Aunt stopped speaking to hub, slept in bedroom with two daughters and if hub was in living room her and 3 kids stayed in dinning room. For years. Eventually her son and later youngest daughter did speak to their dad but aunt was diagnosed with cancer and this was the point he finally moved out.

    She would say he left her but realistically they didn't have a marriage and I suppose he couldn't see how he could play a role in her situation when they hadn't spoken in years. Unfortunately she passed away from her illness.

    Well this has got cheery hasn't it? Slight smile

    Take care

  • Done it Ray, and MM was a handsome devil, especially in his younger days.

    He was also one of the Mitford sisters son's, so I might have a read up and see if he was involved in any scandals.

    Yep, it's a shame you didn't contact an agency for some double work as that could have gained you some lucrative appearances, flogging autographs at racing events, etc.

    I live in cloud cuckoo land a lot of the time xxx

  • Well after my sunny take I am going to say nyt as I really should try some sleep. Craft group tomorrow or do I mean later today?

    Thanks for all your company, take care (from wherever you can get it Upside down)

  • The angles to which I referred only applied to his latter days. My trade when working was in aerospace - liquid propellant rocket engines for satellite station keeping, attitude control and apogee insertion (for geostationary orbit), also used on several interplanetary missions.  F1 and Silverstone is just 5 miles down the road from me but I stopped being interested in it after Vanwall and BRM faded into history i.e. around the time of Graham Hill's death. xxx   

  • Shimmer, I was going to say karma got them but then thought no, it was sad what happened and I felt sorry for them all. Awful Disappointed 

    Yes, sleepy time now so take care and rest well hon. See you tomorrow hopefully xxx

  • The first part of your post Ray...er, what sweetie?

    Too much, but I remember Graham Hill for sure. My sister fancied him something rotten but I never understood why. To me he looked ancient but I was only about 11.

    I suppose we should follow Shimmer's lead and think about getting some shuteye, so I'll bid you night night and you sleep well Ray. See you tomorrow too, hon xxx

  • Good idea Gill. Me too. Sleep well. xxx

  • Morning Julie Relaxed️ 

    Lots of luck for today and everything crossed for a positive consult. Hopefully the stem cell transplant will still be on for next month. Pray

    Hugs and love coming your way xxx

  • Thanks Gill.

    Suffering with a bit of neuropathy in my feet the last couple of days, despite not being on chemo now. I did read it can get worse for a while when you've finished but could do without it! Didn't have it when I was on chemo!!

    Very frustrating!! xxx
