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."

Thanks for the hope and emncouragement,
Really don't like to rant but that one person, in about 5 minutes did so much damage to her mindset. To the extent that for the first time since diagnosis she told me this morning that she really didn't think she would make it. All I could do is hug her and let her cry.
Thankfully I spoke to a great angel at Macmillan called Liz, also my wifes name. The call was about an hour, and it clarified my thinking about where we're at, which I was able to relay to my wife.
It seems it was far too early for him to have made such a decision and I'm sure that as many on here are aware, to also be told any form of reconstruction could not be done at the time of the mastectomy was also wrong. Seems that what really counts is patient choice.
Anyway, that's a decision for further down the line, once she has fought the other battles with chemo and such like.
I call it a battle because, that's how I see it, and like all women, she can be strong and a definite fighter for this.
As for that one person, well I put it down to a pandemic which seems to affect so many people who think they can decide our lives from the government down.
It's a terrible pandemic called SPS, (stupid people syndrome) which appears to have no lnown cure. After 64 years of life Ive come to the conclusion that the only problem with stupid people is they're sooo dangerous 
.
Anyways enough of my blabber but suffice to say her mood did lighten today with Dec's starting to be put up. We even joked about her starting a women's support group for exercise. I said she could call her group the insufferables, and in that moment we all laughed. And that's what we need so much more of.
Sorry for my weird sense of humour, but trust me, its an expression of love 
️.
So great to hear positive outcome stories, something not only people on this journey need to hear, but the world at large.
A big thank you for all your support.
Chat again soon I hope and my prayers and best wishes to everyone else on their journey with this diabolical disease.
Great post my friend 
Liz is lucky to have you by her side.
As for the SPS, there's no cure for stupid xxx
