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 Steve
I would have said the Saw series and the Final Destination series, but nowadays find it really difficult to watch any horror films at all!
I hope your meeting goes well today-we have met up with several new relatives from Ancestry and discovered my father in law had 6 bothers and sisters he knew nothing about! One meeting with a cousin went very well, and one didn’t-we didn’t like them at all and had nothing in common! Hope your day goes well.

The original It with Tim Curry as pennywise... storm of the century... stir of echoes... the conjuring 1 and 2
Oooh…the Conjuring-they were good ones!

I think that will make the meeting more special not having talked face to face yet. I was thinking you guys might have FaceTimed or something similar before this meeting, so I can totally get why you'd be nervous! Wishing you both the very best today!!
