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."

So did I, in Balliol House for Sefton Council. I left in 1986 to have daughter (Sarah).
We visit regularly as Alan's elderly parents need support when his sister is on holiday, they live in Maghull. I also have a sister still in Bootle so we can kill two birds with one visit. Luckily we can park the motorhome at his parents.
