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 all from the lovely French Town of Sainte Suzanne et Chammes. We're heading north now.
I've had a couple of awake nights, last night I had terrible neuropathy pins & needles in my right toes, it made me jump
I hope you're all as well as can be.

Hiya Helen and wowsers! I didn't know you were still away, so good for you. Ooh, I'd be filling up on baguettes, laden with butter, cheese and ham. I love that combo and French baguettes have that certain je ne sais quoi.
Well, let's see if I can clue you up on what's been going on here - Eddie's part way through his world tour, Steve's been appointed as manager of Newcastle Utd on £250.0000 per week and I won £15 on a scratch card two days ago (the last revelation is true).
Hopefully, the neuropathy stops plaguing you soon but I sympathise as the pair of us have got it. Maybe it's the weather? Anyway hon, enjoy the rest of your holiday to the full 
Hugs xxx
Hi Gilly & Helen, neuropathy, feet only, has also struck me, almost certainly caused by radiotherapy, and which I'm managing to control through walking and gentle massage, and well done you on your big win, is that cream cakes for breakfast for a week
. Well Gilly your revelation about me was half right my friend, I was hoping for some time in Greece and a month or so in Australia, but my soon to be ban from flying will scupper that
, thankfully the UK is amazing, as are baguettes, especially those made at a motorway cafe just south of Paris, that still makes them in the traditional way, no captains table today
, will try again tomorrow.
love Eddie and Sheila xx
Hi all... sorry I haven't been here in a while... was pretty wiped physically and mentally with fatigue from the paclitaxel... but it finished last Monday and I started radiotherapy this week... managed to hike to the top of Divis mountain yesterday with Maggie
... as you can see I held onto my hair in the end... I believe thanks to switching to a sulfate free shampoo and finishing with cold showers every morning. Hope you're all doing well.
