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 Gill.
Slow labour still this morning. The hospital decided to send her home and wait for her to get furthur along. Just a waiting game. Didn't sleep well either as phone call with the chemo nurse today too. I have finally made a start on decorating but taking it slow and steady. Hope you managed to get some rest too xx

Morning Jamie. Ah, you'll be familiar with the waiting game, but for a far nicer reason this time - fingers crossed it won't be long now 
Good luck with the phone call hon, but here's hoping your treatment plan will go as smoothly as possible and any potential side effects will be kind to you.
I was still awake around 5 am but nodded off eventually - my body clock must have thought I'd had too much sleep already and gave me a reminder I'm a night owl. Take it easy when decorating my friend xxxx
im really struggling at the moment
