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."

Just as a bit of diversion from all of our stresses, tell me what your best children's program was and why. Certainly don't let it stop you from seeking support and love.

Soaking up the sun 
My eldest daughter loved Teletubbies! My middle (son) was totally obsessed with the movie, 'Bugs Life' (we had it playing more than once a day!!). My youngest daughter, not a clue! She always says she brought herself up!! They're all close in age and it was all a bit of a blur!! 
Hi Uki 
️ I never think you moan, and I'm sure you're coping admirably, but letting a little steam out is a good move every now and then.
I'm no tough nut, and have had more meltdowns than Christmas dinners since all this hit our fan, but I have accepted it and try to get OH to do the same. No easy task, as he's the one who's lost a vital part of himself for good. I often wish it had been me, but who's to say I'd have coped if our positions had been reversed?
What I do know is that our bodies go into fight or flight mode when challenged, and I always choose fight. After what your good wife and yourself have been through, it definitely sounds like you've chosen the same route, so never doubt what you're capable of.
Big hugs kidder, and I'm going to attempt to send a picture of a tree soon. Enthralled? Probably not when you see my pitiful effort xxx
