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."

Evening Sonia
Thanks sweetie, but I've had my leg up for hours and it's fine now.
Oh I cringe when those 8-seater taxis turn up as it's a struggle getting in and out with being so short. Yep, I almost fell flat getting out of a normal taxi a while back as I got my foot trapped in the driver's seatbelt from behind his seat. They're either death traps or I'm the clumsiest sod going.
It must be lovely to drive but the drawback is repairs. I knew you'd help Prince with the cost of his as you're a kind and loving mum.
Bless you sweetheart xxx
Sonia, I'd do anything to help out my family too, as they're more important than money.
Well I was complaining about the taxi carry on to my daughter at the weekend, so she set up a PayPal and Uber account on my phone. The trouble is I've not used it yet as I'm a bit wary of mucking something up. I'll definitely start very soon as it'll be much easier not having to root for change as it's paid up front.
I'll let you know how it goes after I've tried it sweetie xxx
