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."

    Cat wise some seem very adventurous.  Back in West Wales a friend of mine was driving through a rainy night and the engine was squeaking oddly. She pulled over to another farmers land and asked him to look at her car. They opened the hood and a farm cat had had her kittens in the engine space.  They got them out and put her in my pals farm where they all became farm cats x
