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."

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well? I am just catching up on posts over the last few days.

I've started making plans about getting us moved into a more accessible place after Christmas and away from the hellish neighbours! I enjoy a challenge and OH bought my sales pitch with gusto so I'll be on to things in the near future.
