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 all
there's a Christmas fair in our little town tomorrow,
That sounds good, I hope you can both get out to have a look.
Today we'll be getting the motorhome ready for a few days away from tomorrow, just as it's going to get cold 
H
Morning Helen 
I'm hoping OH will be able to go as the fresh air and exercise should do him good, but it's down to how wet it might be. I'm fine but he can be susceptible to picking up chills now 
Talking of which, think how cosy it'll be in your home from home when it's cold outside - just wrap up warm when both of you are! Have a lovely time xxx
Morning Steve.
And a final, final word about hair, or lack of - it's not only cancer treatment that can cause hair loss. Mine is down to stress related alopecia, an unwanted offshoot as a result of what happened to OH last year 
My once decent barnet is now sparce and makes me want to reach for the clippers sometimes. But don't feel sorry as we all know far worse things happen to challenge us. Plus, I can wear my woolly hat now without looking like a loon as I would have done in the summer. I'm proud to join our 'thinning team' on the board!
You have a great weekend too xxx
