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."

That pie sounds delicious well done Ukes, but you must have the oven cranked up. I'm drooling
It's come nice and cool here now and supposedly lots of rain tomorrow. You don't need any of that as you're on holiday. I'm guessing you're at the same place from a couple of months ago? Serious competition for our own Helen J. Chalmers xxx
Good evening Gill and everyone hope youve all had a nice day.
Me and hubby are looking forward to the thunderstorms were meant to be having tonight. Have anyone else had any rain or thunderstorms.
This week seems to have flown by ive been busy which has been nice. I feel so much more human and like myself. Im guessing this is because the chemotherapy is coming out of my body, my final one was on 4th august.

Evening Amanda my lovely
Excellent news that you're feeling better, and I bet the whole family feels better too. Still, don't overdo things and keep getting plenty of you time.
It's been bone dry all day here but rain forecast for tomorrow. Ooh, you lucky girl if the storms happen. Get yourselves comfy and enjoy. Hopefully little Archie won't get nervous - I loved them as a kid and still do.
Love and cwtchs sweetheart xxx
