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."

Yep, my lovely fella is cock-a-hoop with glee, just how I like to see him!
Big hugs to you and Sheila, and that lovely hen from earlier xxxx
Looks like I'll have to concentrate on watercolours instead of oils, as I can finish a painting 4 x quicker, and everyone can have one. Though I think everyone on here deserves so much more, and it's wonderful to hear how happy hubby is and hopefully you'll both be watching Leeds at Arsenal on Saturday. Well time to walk the dogs, need to be up early as I've 4 appointments Eddie xx
