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."

Morning Linda
Still no rain here but it's muggy to the max! I'm just home from shopping and feel like I've been dipped in oil - horrible. Things got worse as the taxi was one of those big bus things and as I couldn't hoist myself up sufficiently, trapped my foot in the door. It's red and throbbing now.
Well those are my tales of woe done with, so praying for some rain at least, also to clear the air.
Hope you have a wet and mug-free day, my lovely xxx
Oh bless you! I must admit there are some beautiful wigs out there but they're very expensive and probably not worth the investment for me (I have cried about the hair loss believe me! It makes it all too real)
Hopefully, I've only got a couple of more treatments that will take my hair and then it should start to grow back. Fingers crossed anyway!
I just thought of you. The vacuum cleaner fell on my foot. It's an upright Shark and I think it's top heavy. It hurt!! I don't think it's broken as it's not swollen particularly but it's a bit sore. Might strap it to the next one for stability! xxx
