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."

Never thought of that Eddie-thanks for the tip. I’ve taken my tea without milk or sugar for years so I’ll give any flavour a go!

Gill, it’s just a pest trying to remember some of it all and plan meals. I’ve had my gallbladder out too so that has an impact, as does having 2 stomas! I just think a good diet will need to suffice-changes to things like wholewheat pasta and rice, and more plant based options etc. I don’t mind any of that sort of stuff. Almond milk is nice so that’s fine. But I’m not going crazy trying to change everything as I don’t think it’s achievable and it wouldn’t be enjoyable and you need some enjoyment in life! I’ve never been able to moderate my crisps consumption, but have managed that recently so I’m proud of that!

Oh, I love being in the van in a thunderstorm! And any trip with wine at 2 euros a glass would give me a smile.
