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."

Hi Sonia,
Not too bad today thanks 
.
Been for a walk to the garden centre with my OH. It's about a 45 minute walk. I was worried about walking there and back as my usual walks have only been about 40 minutes.
However, we realised we could walk 10 minutes, get a train and then do a 15 minute walk home. The train journey was about 2 minutes!! 
It did make it an easier journey though so that was good.
Now I'm just scaring myself, googling what the single rooms are like in the ward I'm going to be spending at least 3 weeks in for the stem cell transplant. From what I can tell, they're small with no window!! Don't care about the size but not seeing daylight for a month doesn't seem good!? I'm so used to getting out when I can for a bit of fresh air and a leg stretch!!
Even in jail you tend to get a window and an hour's exercise in the yard a day!! And a job in the library if you're lucky!! Blimey, I'm going to go potty!!
Hope you're ok xxx
No rain in Reading sadly. Did go black over Bill's mother's but nothing came
