Awake and up all night

That will do you some good. Be around others who can be there to support you too. I am seeing a friend for lunch, then visit her mum who is not well at the moment. 

Morning Jamie  oh, and welcome to our new members - this group is certainly growing!

How are you doing champ? Good I hope. Well I don't know about yourself in the sleep department, but I've been getting far more hours in over the last few days and I was wondering what was behind this miracle. Maybe it could be down to the link Homebird so kindly posted last week. I listened to the soothing tones of the readers and felt very relaxed, although not instantly out for the count. However, maybe a subliminal vibe has been planted in my subconscious as I've often thought about what was advised in the early hours of Saturday morning. Who knows but something's changed as I've been dozing nicely ever since!

Maybe Doreen could give it a whirl too, as anything that helps us to sleep is always welcome. Big hugs my friend xxx

Good morning 

I had a good weekend and out for lunch today. I have slept better the last 3 nights myself. Not sure what's happening either. Mind you it could all change this week. It starting my treatment week. So busy with calls and appointments from tomorrow. 

This group is growing and lot more people feeling comfortable to offer support and advice, which is lovely to see too. 

Seems you may have found use in the link Homebird sent the other day. I am still using my podcasts and audio books. I might give the link a go too. Hope your OH is well and keeping up the advice from his appointment the other day. 

Hope you both have a good start to the day ahead xx

i feel they don't because they think I can just forget about my big c

Thanks Jamie, but OH's appointment last Friday was cancelled and rearranged for this Friday. However, I've turned into the teeth drill sergeant, and as he knows what's good for him he's doing as he'stold. All good  

I'm wishing you the very best for the start of your treatment my lovely - please get as much rest as you can and don't overdo things. And definitely enjoy lunch today! xxx

You have gone through a big trauma. A big live changing event and this is never easy to just 'get over' it. I do feel you may benefit from calling the helpline and speaking to advisor may help. They have helped me when my mind goes in to over drive and supported me to see things a bit more clearer. 

I think there is a group here for life after cancer which may offer more support from others who are in a similar situation. I am sure a Champion will he able to send you a link. 

Hello Doreenw 

Here's the Support Line Number 0808 808 00 00 - do give them a call, anytime between 8am and 8pm. It's a free call and they can help.

Best wishes - Brian.

Rebecca says he best be good and listen to advice hehe.

I am nervous about starting, but know its the right choice for me. Its just the unknown and then the brain starts second guessing lol. I think once I can return to work it will help. But not going back till April has I got to be cleared by occy health first. Xx

Thanks Brian. 

I am right in thinking there is a group for life after cancer? Thinking this might benefit DoreenW. :) 

Here it is Jamie.
