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."

Afternoon Shimmer 
I'll reveal. As not being able to speak is a big part of OH's depression his team will enroll him in a separate clinic, and there he'll be able to meet other laryngectomees and hopefully get cracking with Elvis (electrolarynx).
I'll have to go with him, obviously, but it doesn't bother me as anything to get him out of this hole is welcome.
Anyway, we stopped off in town and got fish and chips to bring home, which went down nicely 
Hope things will go well for Scooterless today

Thanks Uki 
I passed on your hug just before he went for a lie down - he looked like a defeated man so I hope he'll have perked up by the time he comes down.
Big hugs to you and your OH xxx
Sorry to hear that Gill. Hope he feels better after his nap. xxx
