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."

  • Go you!. Scooterless is back in hospital tomorrow for 11am for his second TURBT. (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour so they go in through their boy bits) Hopefully they will do a kidney stent and remove external drainage bag too.

    Busy day for Stressy tomorrow, getting pal to hospital,.getting back for arrival of Parkinson's pal and getting himself to dental clinic on afternoon.

    There was a card through door on Sunday from roofers..why didn't they ring first as they have quite the journey and need to be inside Stressy's roof.

    Expected them Friday and now something to do with being busy form filling as someone ran someone over???

  • Evening Shimmer Wave 

    Just nipped in at half time to read up.

    Well it's pretty evenly matched, apart from the ref who should be wearing a red shirt, but I would say that anyway, and stands at 0 - 0. Amazingly I've not sworn much, yet, but there's still 45 mins plus any stoppages to go. I'm hoping it won't go to pens as that'll screw up TLC time. Whatever.

    Best wishes for Scooterless tomorrow as it doesn't sound pleasant at all what's in store Pray

    Ey up, they've just come back out xxx

  • Best wishes from me to scooterless. Lots of goodies for tomorrow shimmer cornettos cake chocolate. Good luck with the roofers.xxx
