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 Kez I'm glad you're feeling well sweetheart - not too long to wait and then you'll be on your way to recovery. Take things easy till then and don't overstretch yourself.
It's just started snowing here, so keep warm too if you get some of the same. Sending big hugs xxx
Good morning Joules, and welcome aboard xxx
That sounds like a good plan you've got there, but OH and myself must be the odd couple as we tend to enjoy the same shows. I'd no intention of doing so, but I even got into the rugby match he was watching the other night. It's usually like watching paint dry, so wonders never cease. Sending you hugs xxx
