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."

Thanks so much for all the info, much appreciate it. How far into recovery is your hubby ?

Just hoping it will be surgery as that is the best way from what I've read.

Tuesday is test, Friday team meet and if we don't find out by accident the results the following Tuesday. After the last fiasco of hearing not always the real results hoping we do get the data from the team first this time x

He did all the veggie prep, I'm the cook.

It went well and I really enjoyed it.

Evening Dingg.

My OH had his surgery in December 2024, so approximately 17 months ago. But, although he's still recovering from the after effects, it's mainly due to nerve damage caused by surgery - his TL has healed really well, and that took around six months. I'm more than happy to tell you anything at all if it helps after, or, your hubby has any procedures.

Oh, I do hope you get answers next week hon, and like you say, the right ones. Hugs to you both xxx

Evening Uki

I've never been on Chatgpt. Is that where you interact with AI? I'm not too sure I trust it tbh. Have you tried it, and what did you think? xxx
