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."

There's been too much talk of soggy biscuits recently. Just for a bit of balance, I can't stand such things. Many many years ago when my mum asked (insisted 
) that I washed the dishes, I discovered cups which had a grotesque sludge at the bottom which stuck in my nails. Mum thought this was amusing but she did not realise I had an aversion to soggy foodstuffs - caused by my younger brother who dunked his Dinky Studebaker in his breakfast Wheatabix. Neither of us played with it for years after. Mum explained the dunking of digestive biscuits, hence the residue in tea cups. Perhaps I need psychiatric help to overcome this aversion - or make sure any dunking visitor does the dishes (My machine broke years ago. Only me here, so hardly worth buying a new one). Oh, and bread pudding....ghastly !
Sometimes the choice of 'response' emojis is too limiting....a thumbs up, a heart, a sad and a hug....but no 'rolling about laughing' ! LOVED your post RayMK
but the thumbs up sign isn't enough.
