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 Sarah 
Aw thanks for your lovely message. Yes, checking OH for signs of breathing throughout the night again. It's crazy but necessary after what he's been through, and I'll keep on doing it because I do indeed care about him. On my last check he assured me he's feeling ok, but knows a GP visit is on the cards, so we'll see how that goes. I'll certainly give an update when we know the score.
Thanks again my lovely, and you have a good day. Hugs xxx
Best to get things checked out Gill, but glad he’s feeling ok at the moment. Another worry for you nonetheless, but hopefully you can both get some reassurance today.

Morning Linda 
Thank you for your message my lovely, much appreciated. I consider myself lucky to have him too, as he's certainly been through the wars over this last year. Big hugs coming your way xxx
Hi again Sarah 
Well it's taken several hours, but here's where we're at now. I rang the doctors this morning and after waiting over half an hour, was progressing in the queue - then got cut off! I rang back and another half hour later got a response. I was told his GP would call me, but I had shopping to do so went and did that. I eventually got the call, after a back and forth with the SALT team, and advised OH would need a chest x-ray to rule out aspiration to his lungs. So, I rang the hospital and the earliest he can be seen is 6.05 pm this evening. Phew! So a bit of a paper chase but we're on it.
Hopefully your day's been a tad more relaxed. Love Gill xxx
