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."

My son and law and his family had this little game when he was younger. Daring each other to put their fingers into a foxglove flower at the risk of being stung by a bee.
Glad you found it Ray! I lose pills frequently when I pop them out of the packet or drop them with my sausage fingers. My fear is that the cat will find them and eat them-as her eyesight is better than mine. Some of pills are tiny.

Living dangerously there Milkey. You need to fill in a special form before being allowed to hoover at 2am. I love the image of a fiery wife. Could save on heating bills in the winter

Regarding 'how long will it last before I will feel a bit better,' each patient will react differently to cancer and its treatment. It is a question we all may ponder from time to time. The best answer seems to be to just take each day as it comes. Some will be good. Some maybe not so good. I hope you start having a lot more good days.
