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 yes he has aortic stenosis aswell and a heart rate of 100 that they admitted they ignored all day is not good.
Yep the emergency assessment team addressed his blood sugar of 24 too, as he's good at keeping his blood sugar safe he's never had that when he's watching his blood sugar
Thanks yes tired but bit better this morning
I thought l was going to faint trying to reason with them
Hope today is quieter x
Hi Dingg,
What a dreadful thing to have to go through. You should feel safe in hospital and not go through what you both went through. Well done for putting in the complaint. Someone needs to answer for their actions and lessons need to be learned.
I really hope you both have a better day today and that the sun is shining where you are.

So sorry to hear all of this. You're already feeling vulnerable and delicate and you need comfort and care.Sincerely hope that things settle down You've been amazing battling through all of this
All my love and support to youmm Sending you both the biggest hug m
Afternoon Helen ️
Brilliant news that you've had a great time, and I'll bet you both slept well in the motorhome again. Hopefully you'll get rid of the upset stomach that won't leave you alone
We've had a good one, thanks - not done a great deal but it's been nice and quiet so all good.
Settle down once you're sorted lass xxx
Hi Julie, Gill and all and thanks for your thoughts.
I’m still in hospital, but doing well and expecting to be discharged tomorrow.
It’s difficult to know what to say beyond that…. There’ve been some good bits, some bad bits and soon all the bits will be gone!
I’ve been feeling for you, dingg, and your hb. Meghan’s law etc are wonderful, but it shouldn’t be necessary. You feel so helpless and vulnerable at times like this and I was fortunate to have my sister here to speak up for me the day after the surgery.
most people have been very good and caring tho.
i hope some of you have been able to enjoy some of the rays directly today.
Good to hear from you Rose. Glad you're going home tomorrow.
Take it easy and wishing you a speedy recovery Rose.
Sending lots of hugs xxxx
