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
Evening folks, just catching up. Ooh lots of appointments on the cards so good luck to everyone
We will hear tomorrow what time they want Scooterless in for his second TURBT on Wednesday.
What's everyone up to? I didn't have 4000 notifications
Cheers
Gill H are you seasonal? Do vampire habits change with the tides, lunar what nots and longer dark time?
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.
Has our Stressy kept it together today? The prawn stir fry tale was hilarious!
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
