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."

I have read that somewhere. I suppose cooked weevils will add a bit of protein. I ate a small pork pie yesterday then saw it was one day beyond its 'use by' date. I normally buy them in packs of four but this was the last of a pack of six. I can't eat six packs quickly enough. I survived. xxx
