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."

  • Thank you so much Julie. I am home now. It went really well thanks. I have to have a mask fitted in 2 or 3 days and the radiotherapy will start in 2 weeks.xxx

  • Thanks so much Gill. It means alot. Prince was great but his car has broke down. It is a big job something to do with the engine. He is hiring a car while his gets fixed. The appointment went really well no surprises. Hope OH is okay at his tomorrow. I will be thinking of you both. Sending love and hugs.xxx

  • Thank you sweetheart and it's so good to know everything went well for yourself. Excellent work.

    Not good about Prince's car though - they don't half choose their moments to play up, but I'm confident he'll get you to your next appointment as he's a good lad.

    Thanks again for your good wishes for OH hon, but our minds will be elsewhere from 8pm as we'll be watching our team on the telly. We get so wrapped up in the game that nothing else matters at all. It should be bottled and on prescription, with the sport or pastime of choice.

    Anyway sweetie, I reckon you'll feel much better now you've got that one out of the way, so forward towards treatment and recovery now. Hugs and love xxx
