Awake and up all night

Great xxxx

I used to wonder if my cat should eat cheese but he'd take it out of my sandwich himself if l didn't..... priceless 

Sending hugs too xxx

Thanks Gill,

His blood sugar was 27 again all due to that in vein drip. I suspect it has much to do with him feeling rubbish. But they are working towards a solution endoscopy Monday x

They'll find the solution Dingg, I'm sure so try not to worry.

OH had quite a few endoscopy with him having throat cancer, but he was braver than I thought he'd be. I mean, tonight when I was changing his lary tube I accidentally caught him with my nail on his chin. Going by his reaction you'd have thought I'd sliced half his face off! It beggars belief sometimes with him. Lol xxx

My thoughts exactly. 

It does come out of nowhere, I'm good sometimes in the day then later at night it hits me. 

Hope you have a peaceful nite if possible  xxx hugs xxx

You were brave, I'm supposed to have one due to tinnitus after covid but l cancelled it so far.....

Sarah 

Thanks for explaining that. Hope you are ok there and the pampered princess xx

Welcome from me too.

Yes totally get that anxiety going into over drive.

My hubby just had first round of chemo and immuno therapy this week. He's got feeding tube in vein as his throat is closed. But chemo seems to have opened something a bit already. He feels there is still inflammation in his throat and the consultant said to wait a bit for throat to settle, so it could be like that for you, maybe everything needs to settle down and you'll see changes then. I never thought about it before this happened to us but the throat is very sensitive so probably anything makes it react even the treatment. 

Hope you have a quiet night.

There are lovely people on here. You'll be ok here xxxx

Hello,

My first time using a Macmillan chat. I'm starting chemo on Monday 11th and am suffering from a lot of anxiety. It's impacting on my sleep quite a bit now and worried I'll never know a night of peace again.

Hi Rie, and welcome to our group.

Aw poor love, all of us here have had our sleep disrupted through anxiety, but the good news is that once your treatment starts, you'll also start to regain some control and eventually get your sleep pattern back on track.

You might be wondering why I'm still awake? I've never been great at sleeping and even my mam said I was awful to get off, even as a baby. So take no notice of my silliness.

Anyway Rie, there are a few members here who are going through chemo now, and others that have got the t-shirt so they'll be able to give you some tips on how to prepare and what to expect. In the meantime, drop in here whenever you like for a chat, support or just a shoulder if you need a lift.

Monday's only two days away now and it'll be here before you know it. Sending you hugs xxx
