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 JamesH
A warm welcome to the online Community, although I am so sorry to find you joining us. This group is the right place to be for conversation 24 hours a day, be it about cancer, cats, cooking, crafts or anything else.
The Community is also divided up into cancer specific groups so you may wish to join the head and neck group where you will meet others with the same or similar diagnosis - here's the link you need:
Just click on the link I have provided and once the page opens up, click on join on the black banner at the bottom of the page. Once you have joined the group you can introduce yourself in the "New Here - Say Hello" section. You can either copy and paste the post above or create a new one.
If you require any further help in navigating the Community - please do get back to me.
Best wishes - Brian.

That's great news Dingg. Glad to hear that your OH experience of the new hospital is not as bad as where he was before. x
