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."

Nyt, sweet dreams if you can switch off your planning and organizing bits of your brain
I hope those who are not posting currently are managing to rest and even sleep and if they look in, wishing them well.

It's rained on and off all day here so we didn't get out for a walk
I did get a text from the Dr's asking me to make an appointment for my next diabetic blood test/foot check/BP check so that's tomorrow's job.
It's been quiet here today, hopefully you're all OK.
