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."

I️️sn't it amazing what we can achieve despite feeling as robust as spun sugar ... with the threat of a shower!
Cheers
Getting there with the nausea thanks Shims. Not gone but more manageable. Hopefully, not much longer xxx
Have you tried ginger in all its forms? I don't need any encouragement, I love ginger, even just sliced into a cup of water to drink
Cheers
Sonia, hold your horses hon, as the flat's not in the bag just yet. I'll let you know what's what when the checks are done.
Aw I'm proud of you too, my lovely. I bet you felt chuffed to bits getting your shopping done by yourself. Tremendous stuff and you'll feel more confident next time. Well done!
Ooh, warbies is our favourite bread too and i discovered extra thick, in a purple wrapper, a few weeks back. It makes fab toast with lashings of Lurpak dollopped on. Looking forward to colder weather as an excuse to wolf plenty down. You take care sweetie xxx
Hi Shims
I'll answer all your questions if you're playing out later on.
Right now I've the forms to fill but also unrelated ones for OH. He likes having a PA as well as a chief cook and bottle washer. Wouldn't we all

We all need a Hayley! Crutch gets anything and everything sorted by Hayley, form filling stuff, money stuff, tech stuff, practical stuff, arrangements for anything ... referred to as his health organizer but I have never worked out what service she is attached to!
Cheers
Good evening Gill H.
Hope youve managed to sort form out for flat and everything goes as you want it too. Is it far from where you are living at the moment. May get in there in time for christmas do you think.
