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."

Morning all
Well-ended up not going to a&e after all yesterday! Stepson eventually called back-his phone was on silent because he’d changed his shift at work, and he called during his break-offered to leave workand come here. However, things were looking better for OH-temp ok and shivers gone, pee going back to normal and pain reduced to discomfort.
So we decided not to go to the hospital. Actually I wouldn’t have gone anyway-previous experience of being sat there waiting for 5 hours in my wheelchair when I’m uncomfortable is horrible, and dealing with 2 stomas if they decide to play up is no fun there! Things are much improved this morning, OH has slept, got up and showered and got off to work, so hope things will be ok today.
Well done Soc for getting through your scan-I find it virtually impossible so think you’ve done really well. Very glad to read your hubby is doing a little better Dingg-you’ll be so relieved.
Special thanks to the beautiful Pippin-he’s just lovely, and hope for an uneventful scan today and good results for Pippin’s mum
A warm welcome to you Kenzie and I hope you’ve managed to get some sleep now. No judgement here in the group-just care and support for you. I’m a member of the bladder support group so I’ll give you a link to it here
You might want to join there and introduce yourself-they are a lovely helpful group of folk and can help you. I haven’t had a TURBT myself, but I’ve had my bladder removed so that’s why I’m a member there.
I think I’ll get myself up now and get the kettle on!

Morning Dingg 
Your cottage and garden sounds like a dream and I'm hoping once you've got through all the difficulties, you'll both be able to enjoy it to the full.
Nah, Piriton's not cheating and if it helped you getting off to sleep, it's a winner. Hey, we used to have a ferret called Sausage. She was a little cracker and loved to play with my girls and me, chasing round the sofa and stuff. She was a bit niffy though, and had a head full of dagger-like teeth! Sausage never used them on us, but bit anyone who attempted to get near and hung on till I extracted her from their fingers - think Richard Whiteley, clips available on many platforms.
Fingers crossed for further improvement with hubby sweetheart xxx
