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."

No need to feel guilty, I'm sure your friends are only too happy to help. Best of luck with your operation.
Good afternoon. I am feeling okay today. Felt rough yesterday and actually feel asleep at 2pm and woke at 7 wondering what day it was. Then went back sleep at half 11pm till half 7 this morning. Not sure it will last but I think my body finally decided it needed the rest. The most I have slept since forever.
Just little aches in the joints, but easily managed with paracetamol.
Hope you are keeping well. X
