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."

They are memories which are best placed in the 'file closed' compartment of the brain. Those foot vein entries bloody hurt - and I only had one of those. Not one foot, just one cannula trying to find blood. They gave up.

Evening Ray 
I like your style, and agreeing with women is the way forward if you want to avoid endless rows and smashed cups.
None of the nurses we've seen have shown any discomfort with needles or hunt the vein as yet and I've detected a sadistic gleam in their eyes once or twice. But crikey hon, getting jabbed in the foot really does sound painful, what with all the nerves and usually no fat on the trotters to cushion entry. No thanks.
Are you back up to par yet Ray, as the antibiotics must be about done? Hoping so my lovely xxx
Evening Gill, I try to be diplomatic, but not to the extremes that Mrs Bucket's husband went to .
Thanks. The final antibiotic was last Friday. The week's course appears to have worked its magic. I'm getting addicted to Gorgonzola on a Ryveta before bed, so far without nightmares or signs of warfare in my intestines.
I could do without the humidity. Almost unbearable this evening. xxx
