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."

We had a wonderful meal and a great time with our friends. We drank far too much wine

Morning all
We've had our flu jabs this morning and I got a covid jab too.
We're going out for another lunch today with different friends, I may have to not eat for a week afterwards

Hi Steve
If your oncologist believed it was a helpful treatment in attempting to prevent recurrence, surely they would have prescribed it?
I do think we need to be careful reading about things on the internet, and asking gps to prescribe a medication where they don’t necessarily have full knowledge of medicine interactions in an oncology setting. Also, none of us here have professional medical knowledge and should only be speaking about our own personal experiences.
My gp prescribed propranolol for me for a non cancer condition, and the pharmacist phoned me to say she wanted to check in with me after a week to see how I was finding the drug. it has its own potential side effects, and must only be taken, and stopped, on the direction of a gp.

Morning Helen
Ooh, that sounds lovely! I can’t remember the last time I had a glass of wine!
