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."

Amazing thank goodness you found him he's done so much good on here, I was writing earlier your cat has given a lot of hope, pictures of a calm friendly furry reminding us all of a homely stable feeling .
Reminding us of the calmness of a quiet day, at home cat in place, cuppa and as was a long while back for me a coal fire. All's right with the world moment xxxx
And not forgetting Sarah's cat with the sophistication of a super model cat, hope she's feeling better.
I hope the scan appointment goes nice and smoothly, including a clear path through traffic if you have to contend with rush hour.
Next door's cat is a large tabby with a pleasant but assertive nature. A few months ago he leapt into my car when I arrived home with shopping. The inspection was apparently satisfactory as he sauntered off after a couple of minutes. Prior to that occasion he had dashed into my house, inspecting almost every room before being ushered out. I think he brags to his cat mates that he has a main residence and is considering an additional one next door but thinks the staff there are a bit slow.
Imagine a red carpet meeting of the two star cats, Dingg.
The suave, cool swagger of Mr Pippin and the chic, coquettish allure of Miss Nyx. Forget Bennifer - those two fab felines would be trending globally in a flash!
And with that nonsense over, it's off to the kitchen to make dinner.
Glad you seem to be as crackers as a few others here sweetie xxx
