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 all
I was at our surgery just after 8am and managed to get a blood test and my first B12 jab as there were cancellations, I had to wait a short while but not too long. The other 5 jabs are booked and will be done before we head off abroad again.
We've been at James' this afternoon while Alan did some more painting and I played with Thora & Remy

Evening Helen 
Well done for getting sorted with the jabs - hope they haven't made wherever you got stabbed sore

I hope so hon. I know it's awful being stuck in hospital but at least you know everything is there should you need it xxx. 
Good lad Junior, and well done.
The problem lies with most hospital's rapid turnover protocol to get patients out of beds and the next ones in, but that can be detrimental to some.
When OH collapsed last year with an infection, he couldn't move and they'd catheterised him. We live a good 20 miles from the hospital, have no transport and live off the beaten track yet they still insisted he was fit enough for discharge. I told them no way and argued the toss for several hours till they found him a bed on the respiratory ward.
As it turned out I'd been right as he took a turn overnight and would have been blue-lighted back in if I'd have buckled in my stance. How they expected me to deal with a catheter I've no idea - send Ray an SOS post in the early hours? Bonkers.
Anyway lovely, a considerate and switched on consultant would be great for your peace of mind. Here's hoping xxx
