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."

That's good news Rose.

Hi Rose 
Do you want your surgery to go ahead on Monday sweetheart? If I was in your position, I'd be giving a resounding Yes! There's less time to dwell and it will be done sooner than anticipated, so they're positives.
It's no wonder the headless chicken routine has suddenly come into play, but take a deep breath and put the kettle on. When you've got time, make a list of everything you'll need to do before Monday - any phone calls, everything you'll need to take with you and arrangements for travel to hospital. Anything you can think of basically. It will all fall into place.
You could also tell me to mind my own business, which I won't mind at all lovely, I just want to help you out when you've suddenly been put on the spot.
Hoping you'll get on track soon, and sending you warmest hugs xxx
Hi Julie 
our posts to Rose crossed, but I think you gave her sound advice about what to get ready for her potential hospital stay.
Aw sweetie, sorry to hear you need a bit of a boost, but your inner strength leaps out from your posts, it really does. You've got this Julie, and wear your slap with pride today - show them who's boss!
Big hugs and love coming your way xxx
Thanks Gill.
I do get down but give myself a bit of a talking to and pick myself up!! Baby Boomer 
Fellow Baby Boomer here! The stiff upper lip brigade knows how to tackle things head on. We've had our share of tripe over the last eighteen months but refuse to stop, no matter what hurdles keep getting put in our way.
Go for gold
