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."

Oh dear, Steve. That's not good news for the poor guy, so his daughter must hope that the treatment he'll get will help him as much as possible.
Hey, I like Little House too but didn't watch it today as there was other stuff to do, all boring unfortunately.
Your grandson is what you want him to be, regardless of blood ties, and if he likes to come and visit that says it all, so enjoy his company to the max xxx
Hi ukiboyo and to Soc, Gill and gang
Sorry to know this, its hard and the opoids are very variable. Its a funny old business balancing things.
I am making funeral arrangements and went to see hubby at funeral home on Friday. I sent down one of his suits but took the liberty of buying a yellow spotty tie for him just to add the kind of touch he sometimes did.
He once wore a dinner jacket to his fathers funeral just to break convention and because his dad dressed like it in the 50s. And pretended to walk like a rocker all the way to the little grave resulting in tales of the 50s from everyone !
Its pretty up and down.
But haven't forgotten folk on here.
Its hard l know but we can only try our very best for our loved ones, and hopefully many positive outcomes will occur for folk here.
There was a positive to all this for me and hubby that we love each other to the moon and back and no cancer or not great events can ever take that from us or from anyone else's love story..sending prayers xx
It's so good to hear from you Dingg. We haven't forgotten you either sweetheart.
What can I say other than hubby will love the tie and if you want to be unconventional, then go for it hon.
You're so right - nothing and no-one can take away your love for each other, it's there for eternity.
All my love dearest Dinggy xxx
