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."

Oooh tempting my friend, it does look similar to the last ever time I had a hair style, and the last time I ever went to the barbers 43 years ago, I think it was called the Purdy cut. Started going bald soon after so I let Lesley cut it, PS she's my 1st partner and our kids mum.

Morning Helen,
Hope you're well my lovely
I'm a bit 'off' just now - the dreaded waiting for scan results. We all know a bit too much how they affect the flow, but I keep looking in to see how everyone's doing. Have you got any plans for today? Hopefully, I'm calling at my eldest's for a catch-up and H is planning on watching the rugby on TV. Riveting times xxx
