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."

    Derek's in Tucson, Arizona, and he was there last year. He sent some smashing photos and told us about his adventures, that's why I remember places he'd been before. I think he goes every year but not absolutely sure.

    How are you doing today hon? xxx

  • evening gill. i am the same with my kitchen will tidy up later. thanks for letting me know about derek. i am not too bad gill. my legs are aching the arthritis is play ing up so think i will take some painkillers. i have had a good day thanks. my son has been to see me. he always wears new clothes. i have never known a man with so many clothes. must admit he looks smart. how are you today my lovely?

  • A bit like yourself with the osteoarthritis making my knees painful, lovey. Walking around helps a bit.

    Yes, take a couple of painkillers if that helps and get your feet up too.

    Your son sounds dapper, but after what he's been through he does right to get himself what he wants. He must look very smart. Does he go for regular hair cuts too to complete his man about town image? He must get a lot of attention from the ladies Sunglasses

  • he does gill. all the ladies look at him but he has got a nice girlfriend in janine she keeps him down to earth. sh has got 4 lads herself and her ex was no good always drinking.he does go for regular haircuts goes to the gym and does ju jitsu.

  • Fantastic. I used to want to do a martial art when I was younger, and fancied karate. Never did anything about it though and the only chopping I get up to is onions and taties. 

    So 7 kids between Prince and Janine? They must be extra busy with that lot. Are the kids similar in ages hon? xxx
