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."

Ooh Notts Forrest! What do you reckon?
Good luck. Got to craft today and even did one line of crochet!
Awe the granny I framed the photo for wanted to pay my craft fees as all her family think I did a wonderful thing.
She was talking about her mother who was told she was dying but never stopped and lived another 19 years! Several of us chimed 'Now we know where you get it from!'
Cheers
