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."

Wow Uki, Sonia got that absolutely right - I love it!
After a day of hayfever and feeling like I could take out my eyeballs and scrape them on the door mat, that stunning vista has certainly been a sight for them.
Safe journey home tomorrow our kid, and sending you all big hugs and lots of love xxx
Yes, same here Sonia, and the mornings too.
Apparently it's when the pollen comes down or something like that. Even rain doesn't stop it with me, but right now I'd rather have bucket loads of that than all the sneezing and itching.
It's a flipping nuisance hon xxx
