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."

  • Morning all

    We're off in the motorhome again today, just for the weekend and close to home - Canterbury. We're meeting friends tomorrow for a couple of days. 

    We had a pantry at home with a cold marble slab but we also had a small fridge/freezer in our tiny kitchen.

  • Fuuuuu! Don't think I need to mention it is  hot  

    Last night site was playing hide and seek with posts.

    Well done anyone who managed sleep.

    Today I had Stressy's dog and roofers to supervise. He was taking pal to an out of city appointment. Pal turned up with an expense claim form!!!!

    Grrrrrrrrrr! Rage It is not a deflection from finding out about his cancer journey, it is just more important than appointment!!!! If he was spending his baked bean money I could sympathise!

    Off they went, and I attacked bedroom making it more suitable for Parkinson pal who is arriving at teatime and staying overnight at Stressy's ready for our short train trip out tomorrow. 

    I then perused the expenses form. HC1. Wrong form. Research online, taxi journey should be agreed and arranged in advance. Err... text announcing today's appointment recieved Tuesday teatime. Lots of stuff about taxi being exceptional and award may be bus fare!

    307 phonecalls trying to track down HC5 form as download n print isn't happening. Eureka when spoke with a lovely admin young man out at the centre  where appointment was this morning. He has a physical form and will also print out a letter re today's appointment. Told him he can have employee of the day award if he prints it out for himself Joy Also told him he could sell HC5s .on eBay.

    End of part 1

    Cheers 

  • Well done, Helen!  

    Our fan says 32° but when I opened the door earlier it was like getting a blast from the oven, so I guess hotter outside. Sob

    Hope the MH isn't boiling xxx
