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 Milkey you do not need to tell your insurance company about your cancer unless your doctor advises you to do so. You do however need to tell them if you are no longer working as sometimes your premium is affected by your occupation.

    Shame on Mario for dereliction of duty!

    I don't know if you're feeling hot or cold with the infusion but guage it either way hon. You've done brilliantly today and Mr J must be so proud that you don't kick up a fuss. I'll say this quietly - women are tougher than men.

    Off to do more chores now and before poison pens start hitting the board after my aside.

  • Hi Gill and all.

    As always your replies are right out the top drawer and yep stress I guess is there, honestly right now I am trying to get my head round so much, told my mum, all my kids and that sucks the life out of you, maybe soon I will settle but for now my head is very close to dropping in something.

    Now home, work brilliant as is your kindness and Bobs although the double D could be a concern, I think, anyway going for the big crash not to long coz that messes with the pattern of things but can’t function, so to hell with it.

    love to all.

    1. Thanks again for the kindness means so much.
