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."

Tonight, or do I mean last night, I was going to got to bed by midnight, then by 1…..failed again. I have to be in bed by midnight tomoz, as I will have to be up a lot earlier than usual on Wednesday….thought I’d prepare my self for it….failed again!
tonight I’m i‘m thinking, it’s my last proper night at home, i‘m free for the last time for a while…… someone’s prob thinking, thank goodness she won’t be free again for a while 
This will be my 6th surgery, though the last one was 19 years ago (had day procedures since then).
I vowed I would never have another surgery without a 95% chance of success….
Since then I’ve been offered and declined 4 surgeries - and don’t regret any of my decisions.
Although Thursday is also elective, that too feels the right decision.
i do remain a firm believer that if we were meant to have surgeries, we’d have been made withzips
