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."

Two days down, one to go hopefully.️
Went back at RBH for another evening jab. Got to go back to Oxford tomorrow for a last go at collection. Got 2.2 million stem cells now. Bear minimum is 2 million but consultant would be happier with a few more. On the home straight now!! What a week!! xxx
What a week indeed Julie, but what a gal you are! Unbelievable the way you're tackling this hon, but you're almost there now.
Take these ✓ for today with pride, as that's another day done.
How are you feeling today sweetheart? I'm guessing very tired but hopefully not too much pain and happy with your consultant's decision to harvest the extra cells.
The usual advice to rest up this evening and look after each other, with maybe some treats for extra nourishment. Take this too and all our love as I think you're incredible xxx
Evening folks. Probably not very chatty tonight as been trying to access urgent dental appointment but not happening.
Dentists if you can find one say do 111, and 111 say find a dentist 'here's a link that wont work with your android device'
Cheers
Morning Shimmer ️
I wasn't awake when you posted earlier hon, but hope you manage to get rigged up with a dentist today.
Good luck xxx
