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."

Hello briars, and a warm welcome to our little thread, I was sorry to read your dealing with cancer for the 2nd time my friend and your not happy with the hospital you've been referred to for treatment. But you have every right to be referred to the hospital of your choice, you can do this through your GP, it's your legal right, and you should be offered up to 5 appropriate choices, sorry I can't help with the RT question, as mine was too my lower abdomen. Best wishes.

Gill, it's not that kind of market, pity!! Lots of nice local cheeses from one farm, and another beef steaks and sausages.
There used to be a lamb farmer, I knew her from bringing her lambs to work to be slaughtered. We lost contact after Covid. She used to bring me some lovely lamb sausages in to work. Ah, the good old days!
Having the best Cheese Scone and Cappuccino at Hexham Abbey Tearoom. Mmm...
