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."

Just saying hi
That looks submarine class lol, very sturdy looking, but made me think of those old war films where they load up the ships at the docks, then Cary Grant or Jack Lemon character gets into an adventure, defeats every thing, wins the girl then tops up his tan in a perfectly laundered uniform lol
Hope everything works out ok shimmering and hope you ok Ray
Sending hugs xx
Yes lol l get that xx
I think its true we all have to celebrate the small victories we manage everyday they mean a lot.
Even trying herbal tea, feeling a small bit calmer from it equals result xxxxx
Gill noted the film with Gillian Anderson l hope to watch that too x
Love and hugs x
Hi Ukiboyo
Hope you are ok
Up and down here but trying to keep sight of the strength l did have seeming to have to fight every inch of the way for hubby to have a normal experience in hospital.
Maybe l have been over thinking everything but all we can do is try our best.
I'm trying to be positive for hubbys pals wife as she is supporting him through chemo now. I made a list of things she can ask. But l think really if the chemo can do anything its often just worth just doing it.
What the Halifax ! Or man alive !!
Xxx
Thanks Gill
Yes l am not techie minded no idea how Pippin appears on here lol
Thanks for that, sounds like some fab pics.
Oh yes Fox Mulder, though think Russ Abbot in Last of the Summer Wine made me swoon as a youngster must be my Yorkshire side, a home bird at heart.
Used to tease hubby he looked a bit like Richard Dreyfuss he'd say yes without the sharks....
