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."

Best of luck for your hubby tomorrow Linda
Do you have portable, hand-held fans you could take on the tube? Cold bottled water would be a good idea too. If hubby's groggy or in pain after the extraction, maybe a taxi home and hang the expense as you'll be eager to get out of the heat too.
Take care sweetheart xxx
Evening Sonia
That's a shame you only got a drizzle of rain hon. Fingers crossed for tomorrow for the gardens as well as us.
Did your granddaughter enjoy her birthday Trafford Centre trip? Wouldn't it be great to be 15 again?
Hoping you feel better today sweetheart, and keep close to your fan. Lots of love hon xxx
