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."

No worries sweetheart.
It's protocol to have dodgy teeth removed before RT starts as problems could arrise post treatment. You'll be informed about all that.
Hey, definitely join H&N tomorrow when a community champion will provide the link.
But stay here too as we stay up far later. We can give you plenty of info but also support and the odd giggle.
As part of your welcome pack, here's a night owl 
badge. I'm hoping you won't need to use it too much once your treatment starts - you'll probably be sleeping for England!
Where are you hon, being nosy now? xxx

Speaking of ignoring, waiting for the site to catch up I got sucked into trying to sort the latest Stressy/ Scooterless drama.
Scooterless had blood tests Monday and at teatime today Stressy gets a txt as his official contact. Just said appointment in next city this Thursday!
Stressy rang and eventually discovered it's a renal appointment. Bear in mind no one has transport. I took over the call and was trying to establish that if the appointment had to be there what did it involve. Got put onto consultant's secretary who was being very helpful as Stressy start to lose it grumping he just have to pay for taxi. Secretary saying it could possibly be phone appointment, I explaining someone have to speak on his behalf KABOOM!
Stressy explode want me end call! He went round to tell Scooterless about appointment.
Before I knew it was renal I had said that if the cancer treatment was out of city, Scooterless would have to accept it.
I am now thinking the renal appointment may just be tick box review, easily done by phone rather than two costly taxi journeys.
Stressy soon back. Phone rings. Scooterless saying SIL has given him number of free patient taxi. Aaaaargh!
This as we all know is not a free taxi. It's patient transport.You have to be picked up two hours before appointment and wait at least 90 mins afterwards (can be hours) and of course Stressy can't do waiting!
I ring the service, sticky 
to staff trying to book it with Stressy fizzing in background then full on raging volcano.
He rang Scooterless and demanded he come round n put phone down etc etc Pal didn't come.
The thorn is ... Scooterless can easily afford the taxi despite it being quite an expense.
Anyway I eventually rang Scooterless and told him transport service means he be there most of day so he has to pay taxi. Reluctantly agreed.
Been looking at our local charity that my craft group supports which provides free lifts to cancer appointments. That is a possibility once he has a treatment plan. Although if it at our hospital it is minutes away.
Stressy was triggered not just by pal's tightness but thinking the bloods might have instigated urgent renal appointment..
Cheers
