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."

  • Aw sweetie, it's natural to be nervous as it's something new, but lean on Prince as he's done the head and neck thing already. He'll look after you and we'll be thinking of you.

    Get yourself comfy tonight and hopefully some quality sleep. I'm getting a bit too much lately!

    Love and hugs, sugar xxx

    Cheers

  • Evening Shims, although we probably know what's in store now the 10.30 hamster shift has clocked off. It just did but I found it again!

    Just simmering down here, but to add to the good luck messages here's one for Scooterless, and hoping all goes well with the TURBT on Wednesday. I'll have to look that up so I'll know what it is.

    As I've had to do some jiggery pokery already I can answer your second post.

    Us creatures of the night are just coming into our own now summer's doing one - I celebrated with garlic Madeira cake and garlic on toast, but OH gave both a pass. I really have no idea why??

    I think the skeleton overnight crew of hamsters are highly trained to look out for our interactions... then they strike! xxx

  • Not really I lost track off time whist sorting out and little bit better after a little chat
