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."

James, it's been a pleasure and if you ever find yourself garden walking in the silly hours, just drop in. You'll always be welcome 
Keep us posted anytime and keep the faith. Hugs and love being delivered xxx
Fuuuuuu! Again so much chat to catch up and some brilliant news @JamesH
Now I have to get serious again You! Yes YOU stop right now with the :sorry for moaning:, :I am miserable' etc etc.️
Every single person that visits this forum whether tentatively dipping their toe in or jumping in and holding on is here because they have a heap of heaviness dropped on their head.
Whether it is fear and confusion over a possible diagnosis or stress and struggle with their own or a loved one's cancer journey.
Imagine someone carrying a huge boulder uphill, above their head, in the dark... an unseen tufft of grass causes them to stumble... would we expect them to apologize and demand they do better?
It is the Canadian's national trait to be very apologetic so unless that is your excuse, please stop.
Okay, secondly, it is not a ranked situation, no one's circumstances are more worthy than anyone else's. Not being the patient is just different, not easier!
So everyone please collect your sticky 
oi! Form an.orderly queue, there is plenty to go round.
Now about this weather, please count me in with the more wet and more cold brigade please.
I am so lucky to be on the NE coast and can't believe some bits of our country are still frying. I don't do heat or humidity and need factor 97 if there's so much as a chink in the clouds so

That's the teacher/trade unionist coming out so I'll take a ticking off and be contrite. Can I have my gold star now, please?

Grrrr thread jammed up, my post disappeared,. I have a dexascan at 8.30 in morn so am calling it a nyt.
Fab news @JamedH
Everybody else got a telling off then a sticky
Nyt folks
I attempted to edit a typo and gremlins struck! Glad somebody saw it!
aplenty but I must attempt sleep. Nyt all
I should have said it is a bone density scan, I assume triggered by my recent breaks Definitely nyt 
Ray, there's something up with my phone too. And the telly.
Just before I got OH settled Sky started going on about a technical fault, then I tried to reply to James and it wouldn't let me.
I've sorted the telly 
but not the phone and that message asking if you need help keeps appearing.
Now I know I probably do need help but how does Macmillan know when I've not used the helpline? Odd xxx
Good luck with the scan sweetheart, and hopefully good results 
Your long post came back. Phew.
Night night lovely, sleep well xxx
