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."

Hi Dingg

Hi Shimmer
Yes am here very early on the site as l plan my champaign to sleep tonight....just going to make a cassarole, am keeping hydrated
Plan to watch pedestrian and pastoral tv nothing exciting lol something quiet about fields etc
Changing into pj's early.
Let's see if it works or maybe l am being too healthy and a glass of cider, jump up and down moderately to some music and fall into bed maybe works also 
Hope you are ok and manage to get some shut eye
Sending hugs x
Hi Soc you are really here too! Yay!
Ooh after my surgery I was told to eat high fat dairy... licence to binj WAHOO!
Except ... cream is still a no no (effect truly unacceptable ahem) and at first titchy amounts only were possible.
Previously my favourite thing was profiteroles... now good mashed potato is up there 
Cheers
Soc
I had no idea you had surgery, oh Soc, l did miss some posts. How's the ear area now is it healing ok? So sorry you went through that too.
Yes it would put you off eating that nausea is horrid and the nausea injections and meds don't always do as much as all that.
If you are getting out l do know make sure you have a soft hat or wide band to protect the operation area from sharp wind but don't have something that blows off and leaves you struggling to hold a hat onto the area.
Don't know if that helps...
My father in law had part of his ear removed but he wouldn't wear a hat, but it did all heal up very well.
Thinking of you, you are a strong person and a caring person Soc. I truly believe you have such positive energy it will help you build strength back. But it may take time, and l think we all get impatient with ourselves and want it to get better quicker, and almost get cross with ourselves. Be gentle with yourself, you will get there...wishing you healing, sending hugs and love

I feel some days all the progress l make is sent back to base camp...maybe thats ok though..... xxxx
