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."

Oh, I can really empathise with poor John. I can’t get my foot over the patio door frame which is incredibly frustrating. But yesterday on the bank holiday I finally wasn’t on my own so got help to get into the garden and sit out. It was lovely. Maybe some sort of ramp might help John when you move? I’m pinning all my hopes on a new hip!

Morning all
It's been quiet on here, I hope you've all been getting some decent sleep. I slept really well last night 
This morning we're going to visit our friend that was recently diagnosed with breast cancer for a catch up. I've bought her a MooGoo cancer care pack, I found the moisturiser great when I got radiotherapy burnt skin.

Morning all
Good to hear people are sleeping! I also had a very solid sleep last night and a nap in the evening, and it’s a lovely day here today which I wasn’t expecting. We have a clock/thermometer in the garden and it was showing 84 degrees on Monday(I haven’t managed to go to Celsius yet!) but today I’m just happy to see blue skies!

I confess I never went metric either Gill. I cannot visualise weights in kilos or distances in kilometres so I stick to imperial. Still weigh myself in imperial to keep track as I have no concept of weight in kilos and it just doesn’t mean anything. Trying hard to keep track of any lbs which are disappearing as I’m trying to eat well with my diabetes. I stopped in Morrisons in Monday when we were shopping and my OH had to come and drag me away from a cake display!

Morning guys, I'm a little mixed up, still, with the whole metric, imperial thing, well I am a man"almost", and can muddle through both systems reasonably well bar height, I'm 6ft 1in but don't know or care to know what that is in centimeters, I was going to reference another appendage but am too much of a gentleman to do so, and anyway who wants to talk about my feet 
, at this or any time of the day. I suppose it's time to get up.
love Eddie and (a lucky

I managed to go decimal with money ok, and I was 9 in 1971 but just never got to grips with metric measurements for some reason! My kids think I’m doollally!
Now, a suitable cheesecake recipe would be excellent if Eddie posts it-I’d be happy to have a go at that. I’ve been really strict about not having treats since I got my diagnosis and I do think my tastebuds are getting used to this new healthy regime but I get the odd hankering for a vanilla slice!
