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."

Evening Amanda 
Well done on getting everything covered for your relaxation this evening - all that's missing is Glyn peeling you some grapes. Or maybe he is. You let the cooler weather drift over you and enjoy Birds, my lovely.
Well this morning we had a shower that barely lasted 15 seconds and that was it for the rest of the day, but I'm keeping my hopes up for some rain later this week.
Now I don't know about walking away from the dishes as I'll be walking towards them anytime now - they're currently soaking in hot water and Fairy, waiting for me to finish off their pampering session. But we've had a nice, quiet day hon and some choice viewing on the box...
... cricket, football and more cricket. Fab. OH had better start peeling me some grapes if he knows what's good for him, oh, and a meal out so I will be able to walk away from the dishes!
Enjoy your evening sweetheart, and here's some cool cwtches to be going on with

Sending you all the very best for tomorrow, Julie.
Hoping it all goes as well as possible, sweetheart xxx 
Evening my lovely 
That's wonderful what your daughter's done today for you, and just think how cosy it'll be to sink into a freshly made up bed. If that doesn't guarantee a relaxing sleep I don't know what will.
Aw Sonia, that's not good about the painful injections and such a shame you can't take tablets. I've been taking B12 and iron capsules every day for months but don't know if they'll do a scrap of good. On the other hand they've not done any harm so I'll carry on.
Ah, a meal out could prove tricky as the last time we tried OH spent the whole time eye leaking into his fish and chips. I did feel for him as I discovered it had stirred memories of happier times before he got ill. So I'll play it by ear as I don't fancy bolting mine down at breakneck speed again. Oh dear, poor OH.
Anyway hon, wouldn't it be lovely if you could take a walk with Julie if only so many miles weren't in the way? Macmillan should hurry up and get the Awake Centre cracking on the Pennines. Any architects in the gang?
Enjoy the rest of your evening sweetie xxx
Will do hon, no worries. OH knows I'm here to look after him for good 
Sometimes he might not be feeling the good as I'm a very hard taskmaster! 
Love and hugs coming your way xxx
