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."

Photo is a blanket I made (pink/red) ages ago and blue/grey is one I'm making for my brother.
I love the blankets. I've got loads of odd balls of wool and keep saying I'm going to make a large blanket but I always find other things to make 
. I've made loads of baby blankets over the years.

Hello you lovely people

We are away in Tenerife at the moment and the weather lovely thank you so much for you message this means so much to me. And me starting to reach out is massive for me️ and I need to do it. I am worried people are looking at me as I have be so careful
Hey Me, that's a lovely photo and you're a very good looking pair of people too. 
If folk are looking I imagine it's because you both look so good and no other reason than that.
I'm thinking though, that posting pics of others might not be allowed, even if bf has given his consent, so maybe Brian can put us straight.
No worries though sweetheart and you keep enjoying Tenerife and all the great weather. It'll do you both the world of good. 
Drop by any time you like as there's always some of us around and up for a chat.
Sending warm hugs to a very warm Tenerife. Have plenty of fun xxx 
No i wish i could really but i suffer from dreadful anxiety so have never attempted it.
Crazy really isnt it the effect of the chemotherspy has had on our bodies. Im grateful to now be on the otherside. I thank god every single day. Xxx
Got back at 3-05pm. Appointment was on time. Same nurse as last time. I was running pink on arrival so urine was sampled for a dip test and further lab analysis. Dip test triggered all 8 of the infection markers. I had to wait a further 20 minutes after the 3 sec OUCH and new catheter being hammered past my prostate while the nurse found a doctor to prescribe a one-off shot of antibiotic. The needle looked quite long and sturdy 
. The jab was given at waist level on my right side. I felt a slight prick but nothing else. I was then allowed to go. Had a drive thru Starbucks and bacon roll which I stopped to consume at Tesco carpark, refuelled car whilst there - E10 unleaded put in as it was £1-74.9. Tesco had no diesel at all. Feeling ok but hoping drinking water will subdue the red output.
I hope all who have had treatment or appointments today will also feel reasonably ok and soon able to put the experience(s) behind you. xxx
