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
Aw thank you lovely, and it was smashing to get a break but tiring - must be all the walking as I've slept like a log!
You've got something to look forward to as well after treatment, with a trip to the seaside. Fab!
As we've never been to Lytham st Anne's, I'm going to look it up so I'll know what treats you've got in store and can share your excitement when the time comes. When it does, plenty of sea air hon, as it's the best knockout cure on the market!
You have a lovely evening sweetheart, and sending our love xxx
Oh it sounds lovely Sonia. I have heard of it but no wonder it draws folk to live there. Don't you just wish?
It's streak pie and chips for our tea, so I'll be looking it up when I'm in the kitchen as I just can't get enough of coastal views. I'm obsessed with the sea!
Laters cherub and take things easy xxx
i would love to live there. on the sea front there are houses and flats with balconies overlooking the sea. isorry i meant to say it is near blackpool not in blackpool. there is Lytham. Lytham st annes and St annes all separate places but next door to each other.xx
Well I've just taken a nose at some properties there, and they're gorgeous. Houses very expensive, but the flats aren't too bad and around the same price as near to us, but we don't have the sea view! Sonia, to look out to sea every day I'd be willing to live in a tin shed! Not kidding.
The town itself is beautiful with some lovely places to wander around. You'll have the best time when you get there with your sister hon. Perfect! xxx
Just like it was in Redcar hon. We walked up and down the esplanade several times but when the wind picked up it got a bit wild. Yesterday OH's cap blew into the road twice and I had to run to rescue it! It stayed dry and warm though, so we got lucky weatherwise. It was brilliant and we had a great time xxx
