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."

Good morning Sonia 
Aw sweetheart, the thought of you crying is heartbreaking, so I'm sending you love and comfort. I'm hoping you managed to get some rest eventually.
Sonia, I don't know if you have a consultation about your diagnosis coming up, but last week Brian sent a link for the Head and Neck forum where others there have also experienced mouth cancer. The folk on there are equally as kind and supportive as here, but will also give lots of pertinent advice and information for you too. I've been a member for over a year and it was a life changer for us in those early, dark times. One of our lovely Champs will no doubt provide the link again, as it was several pages back now.
I'm sure every one of us here will have you in their thoughts sweetheart xxx

Morning Dingg 
Thank goodness hubby didn't have sepsis and hopefully he's now stabilised 
but what a dreadful night you had sweetheart. Please don't pin the appalling treatment you both suffered from others on yourself, as that's the last thing you should do.
When you visit hubby today, I'm so hoping you'll find him in a much better way and with sure signs of improvement.
You're having the toughest of times my lovely, so sending you strength and love xxx
Many thanks, Brian - you're a star. Dani is brilliant at putting worried people's minds at ease xxx

Morning Julie 
I've been thinking about Rose as well, and really hope her surgery was successful and she's now recovering.
Hoping you're ok today too sweetheart xxx
Morning Dani We're not - we're stating facts, you treasure. xxx
