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."

Near the 2 hospitals, but family originally from West Wales. Hope he's not in Morriston anymore its chaos, l thought we were having a rough time but its not just us l read online its a right state. Still no contact from cancer nurses, so trying to find out stuff for myself. Singleton is very good, but macmillan gone, the signs on wall remain but they're not there .
There is a chap in hubby's ward from Ceredigion but he's older?
Hi lh_uk_92
Wishing you all the best for Thursday. Is your op being done keyhole or open abdominal? I’ve got experience of one, but not the other although I had keyhole for my gallbladder being removed.
Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Lol. Tube was a success into throat but then he need a blood transfusion tomorrow due to haemoglobin drop.
Hope to get him home soon.
Still no support from cancer nurse neither old one or the new. The attitude from last one was a disgrace, as a support worker myself l am shocked at the attitude, still scares me how cold she was when we had the news. Left messages to have her or the new one offer support just ignores it.
On the bright side hubby hopefully home soon x
