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."

Hello Ukiboy
Mrs Millibob sometimes has appointments at Salford Royal Hospital - parking is bad there - a space is as rare as a £9 note!!
Once we get the appointment I use a parking app (just park) rent someone's drive for 4 hours for £5 100 yards away. We just turn up park the car, no worries about finding a space!
Kind regards - Brian.

So typical sorry you had it too, this happened to me few times, now l get a bus as it was too stressful.
Found out have to wait 3 months to claim disability for hubby as he doesnt get sick pay in his job. There is a possibility of a car with it that hubby can get into to go to chemo when he's home.
But as its inoperable do you or Gill know if l can fast track a claim as we have a sports car and he wont be able to get in it
Flipping hospital carparks are a nightmare!! It's the same for me. I feel you have to set off the day before to get a flaming place!
And then you have to pay unless you're having treatment!
Ours is close to the town centre and served really well by buses which usually good if you do have a car but on chemo I want to be driven! My immunity isn't up to a bus trip!
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
