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."

I'm good Gill thanks.
Finished my 2 cycles now so half way through part 1! Seeing the consultant on Monday but they have changed the frequency of jabs I get. I'm doing one of them every other weeks now. It's the one that kills the cancer cells in my bone marrow and as I know that my protein levels went down, I'm hoping that means there are fewer cancer cells so don't need it so frequently. It will be one less thing.
Have started taking anti-sickness meds as I was vomiting a couple of weeks ago but they're good and really help. Can cause constipation so I'll add those to the list!! Also, my HB have gone back to the normal range so have a bit more energy generally.
Still keeping the positive outlook, have seen a few more friends (outside of course), and trying to get out when I have the energy. Still having down days, especially Friday which is steroid come down day but I know it passes. Instead of mentally planning my funeral on a Friday, I've said I write my school reports! I thought the alternative mental focus would help...it did last week but who knows! 
Both equally gloomy at times!!
Also beginning to get my head round the stem cell transplant which will hopefully be happening later in summer sometime.
Hope all is going well for you xxx
Morning Gill-I’m sure you’ll would have had a brilliant badge and I’m sorry we can’t see it…
I’ve also been having a lot of problems with the site last night-constant error messages and I couldn’t read by posts here though I had notifications there were some. I see Brian is on the case, so will leave it in his capable hands!

That's really good to know about all the positives Julie, and I hope the treatments keep working their magic 
Aw lovey, it's sad to hear about your downers, but keep resting and getting fresh air in equal measures. Hey, the sky's a glorious blue right now so if you've got the same, look up and drink it in - it's just as healing as the meds.
When I used to do reports I found them stimulating - how best to find the positives in the dubious behaviour of some little darlings! I always managed to find them, thankfully.
We're ok here sweetheart, and thanks for asking. OH should be getting up soon and that's when I'll get cracking!
Take care my lovely, hugs and love xxx
Hi Sarah 
Same as Julie, I thought it was my phone playing up but after Brian's message it's probably not.
I faffed about, trying to get a badge for Dingg, but I'm hopeless so gave in as techy stuff has me bamboozled.
Have a lovely day sweetheart xxx
This is so wonderful to hear. Onwards and upwards. Good luck with the training. Should make things easier. Loads of love lovely lady
