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."

I never went on google once when I was going through my cancer and treatment Gill-scared of what I might read that would make me feel worse! I trusted my team, and got pain meds changed on occasion too which helped me.

That’s the thing-it has such scary stories and leads you down all sorts of rabbit holes. I wouldn’t even read the booklet from my CNS and made her put it in a sealed envelope where it stayed for about 7 months!

Well I went to bed about 8pm and fell asleep. I was shocked when I woke up again and saw the time!

Hope you can settle down again soon x

I might get a few hours in a bit Jamie. I’m not often awake at this time.

Get those eyes closed Gill!
Things are going better at the hospital thank goodness-“responding well” is what the doctor is saying, so I’m happy about that. Night night.
