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."

Good morning Gill. 
Yea it's nice here. It's not the best seaside town, and in fact most people haven't heard of it. Next to us is Littlehampton which is more popular. All the beaches around here are shingle, so it's not like there's lovely sand or anything. It's still great though to be so close to the sea. In Winter you can see the sunset and sunrise from the beach, and I've filmed and photographed it lots of times. One of my photos of a sunset is hanging on the wall of my nearest hospital.
I can't see the sea from here but if I walk 1 minute, I can! It's 3 and a half minutes walk to get to the beach.
It's still quite warm here, 20C at the moment, but it's cloudy.
My Youtube channel - I was going to check if they'll let me post a link in these forums but I haven't looked yet. I'll check in a min. I don't see why not though. I'm a bit shy for people here to watch me, I'm kinda embarrassed about the state of me. That's just me, how I've always been.
Once you've done your chores Gill, pop over and do mine will you? See you soon.
Geoff.
Sorted then my friend, Jane's it is, just bringing a smile to her face will be worth it, as for biscuits my fav's are hob nobs but I think that might be partly because if they don't get eaten, they make a lovely cheesecake base
. As for dinner tonight I always opt for gammon and occasionally sticky toffee pudding
, and Aphantasia is a big issue on top of the usual memory issues you can get with cancer treatment, but lately I've been getting an occasional image flashing in my head for less than a second, so maybe it's a good sign. Mine is acquired Aphantasia, but they couldn't find the trigger, and it isn't nice when you can't visualise memories, the complete darkness is tough to get used to, but you have to.
love Eddie and Sheila xx
Lol 
if it meant being able to be near the sea, I'd gladly do your chores. Well, some of them so let's not get carried away.
You must be proud, having one of your shots on show at the hospital and I'd love to see your work. My chap had RT at Jimmy's, in Leeds, a huge place and they've got a gallery of artwork, wonderful to look at whilst waiting for patient transport. Oh, and a grand piano with regular pianists playing an array of music genres. You know, I really miss it - six weeks of something no-one would wish for but we made the most of it and look back with great fondness. It seems odd ball but it was one of the better parts of the journey.
Ah well, back to chores and then back to reading, as OH has gone up for a snooze. Oh, and if it's allowed, don't be shy about being seen as none of us here bothers about looks, just the person behind them.
Hugs to you my friend xxx
