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."

Not sure what was happening last night as there seemed to be no posts for several hours.
Back in a bit
Evening shimmering I find it goes quiet at tea time everyone must be busy.xx
Sonia, sorry I missed you hon, but TLC time happened. Hope you're asleep now as fatigue can take an age to shift.
Good news that your appointment went well hon, and that's a big thing you've achieved, getting all that out of the way. It's flown since you first joined the gang!
Sleep well and sweet dreams tonight my lovely xxx
