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."

    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
