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."

We do find quite a few things that are sugar free. Iceland do biscuits from a company called Gullon that have no added sugar.

Morning H
Sleep for me was in bite sized chunks last night but talking of bites, sort of, cream soda and ice-cream is the absolute business! Constantly topping up the pop with more dollops to keep the foamy deliciousness going...yes! Then likely spewing up from gut overload.
Happens often as I've not outgrown the fetish.
Breakfasting home or away this morning hon, or the delights of ironing? Swap ya cos I've got cupboard clearance on the agenda. Shucks.
