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."

Good evening Gill and everyone. Ive just been trying to catch up on all the posts.
Hope everyone are having a nice restful evening and had something nice for tea. i made a nice chicken curry and it was nice even though i say so myself. Lol. It is the first curry i have had in last 10 months due to treatment side effects etc.im hoping it doesnt cause me any pain now though as i dont have a gallbladder. I did check with my specialsist nurse and she said to try it and see if my body likes it. Wish me luck
What have you all got planned for the weekend.
Big cwtches sent from my home to yours
