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."

Hi Gill, Ukiboy Sbird and Soc Good evening, thank you all for your replies.

Thats why i have been worrying as to why it would take so long youve all eased my mind a lot. I have been over thinking this since yesterday to be honest. Im the worlds worst panicker.
Hugs to you all

Evening Kez
Gutted was the word but I'm over it now Well I fell asleep and didn't rise from the crypt till almost 9pm, then troughed into a large bowl of strawberries and cream so definitely had a sweet treat!
You'll be lovely and cosy in your gown so keep it wrapped round yourself sweetheart.
Hugs and love Kezzy lass xxx
