“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.

Incidentally, I have spoken to many female nurses who have admitted that they hate being injected despite doing blood tests etc. on others all day. One said she often fainted when undergoing a blood test.
