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."

Morning both. Jon was given TXA Transecamic Acid (not sure thats how its spelt) but it wasn't for pain Gill it was to help control his bleeding.
His pain relief was MST, Oramorph and Paracetamol.
Hiya Peggy. So sorry to hear about your situation hon, there's nothing worse than pain and it always seems much worse at night when you're so tired and unable to sleep
You will usually find some kind soul on here who will happily chat. Xxx
No worries my lovely. We'll try and get you sorted, but I've no experience of zolondronic acid, so I've asked a friend, Debs, who has. But I really think you should get an emergency appointment with your doctor, or another visit to A&E as you can't carry on like this sweetheart xxx
Had first one in August
but certainly no more ever again
should not be given to anyone
I feel .
it was not oncology who prescribed it

Thank you both for helping me. Xx
