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 folks. Fell asleep before chatting last night.
Hope those feeling rough are being kind to themselves and feel better soon.
Cheers
Thought I would try a short post as I know the site is still err unpredictable
but that appeared to work
Cheers
Hi. Me being me, that's nosey ahem curious! I looked up your Recovery service. Could be very interesting and helpful. Have they said what they are offering you?
Looks like a good team involved but then the resources seem to be leaflets, diaries and community sessions. Not sure if that just means access other than a hospital setting or facilitating group sessions.
See ... curious
Cheers
It says it can help with 'physical, psychological and cognitive challenges' and has a 'team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapist and clinical psychologists' to assist either any concerns or issues during recovery.
Sounds good but don't think it's available before 4pm tomorrow when I've got to go in and get another dose of something to shift my stem cells (with another bunch of horrible side effects!!)
Will definitely be giving it a go though and think I'll cancer patients should have it!
Koo imagine if it works! A group of specialists looking after you as a person, holistically.
Hopefully without waiting lists. Really hope this works
Good luck
Evening Amanda
Sorry to hear yourself and Archie have both been poorly my lovelies, and hope you're both getting better. Poor little Archie though with teething, as it's a miserable time for kiddies.
Sending you both lots of love and big cwtches xxx take care
Thanks so much Uki ️
It's upsetting when friends are badly even though we've never met, and that goes for everyone here too as close bonds are formed. I just wish it wasn't down to this insidious disease but I think we're all better than that and it can just do one! Sod it right off!
Loads of love hon xxx
