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 Derek
I soon changed my mind about that nip once we were out - far too warm again, for me anyroad.
Good luck with the garden hon - ours needs a good tidy too and Taddys not that far away plenty of builder's tea on tap!
Have a good 'un Derek xxx
Afternoon Kez
Make sure you keep yourself comfortably warm hon, as it's definitely cooled down.
I went white hot half an hour ago - I'd told OH to back a certain horse, he didn't, it won, goodbye £100. I'm still getting over it
Hope your day's going better, sweetheart xxx
Hi H,
My hats have come from Annabandana! They fit perfectly and are really pretty. Thanks for the recommendation! Great value for money too!
Still got my hair but am amazed there's still as much as there is lots coming out every day. It's only about an inch at its longest but there's clearly a lot of it!! xxx
