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."

No worries Julie I think I realised once the link brought up Sonia.
The main thing is that you're doing ok sweetheart, as you've had a lot on and still a lot to deal with. You make sure you keep as well as you can and don't worry about us lot - just post whenever you're up for it hon.
These are for you to put in a virtual vase
and sending lots of love and hugs xxx
I get you sweetheart, I'm sure we all do but put yourself first for now and once you're feeling much better, then you can start up again with the ol' keyboard.
Or, if you're as silly as I am, your phone even if you've got a tablet and laptop at your disposal like I have! I'm just too bone idle to get them out and charged. xxx
Evening folks. Just caught up. Last night fighting tech and sleep and we both crashed!
Firstly Scooterless had been told he is now bladder cancer free Will have immunotherapy as high risk of return.
Gill H oh dear ... how are you feeling? How is OH? What happens with his care if you are incapacitated?
Everyone else ... please get a grip! Sometimes it really is all about you. About you putting yourself front and centre of your to do list. Then reading your to do list Yes you that means doing just a bit, of anything, and then lying back into the support on offer... even if that's just from us grubby lot here.
Cheers
Crikey Gill H I need therapy! Just looked up pics of 1960s plush toys with doll faces and AAAAARGH!
Some of those are truly horrendous!
Cheers
Greetings Shimmer
Firstly, fab news about Scooterless! Has he been told when his immunotherapy will commence and will it be at the hospital on his doorstep?
I'm a lot better thanks, but have had a couple of those beads of sweat on forehead and must sit down quick before I flake out moments. It'll be reyt.
I've been ok enough to do all OH's care except his full MOT - the parts I couldn't service have been put off till tomorrow and that's not as 'ooh, matron' as it sounds.
The glitches have started up already. Holy cow! xxx
Aren't the horrendous dolls like yours then hon?
Thinking of calling us the Grubsters xxx
Right Shimmers, getting a grip as advised. Tomorrow (or the day after) I'll add an instruction on my to do list to read it, weigh the pros & cons of each item then grab the support on offer (coffee and an Eccles cake). It's a lovely feeling, reading all those tasks I've avoided doing.
Good news regarding Scooterless. I hope he tolerates the immunotherapy well.
