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."

Afternoon Ray. That treat you had sounds delicious. We've just wolfed ours down, Jolly Hog smoked back bacon from - drum roll - Tesco's! I bought a pack from there earlier this week and wish I'd got two now
If drinking Starbucks has you stuck to the ceiling, maybe you'd better limit yourself Ray - we can't have you spoiling a masterpiece if you decide to wield the brushes.
Are you doing ok my lovely? xxx
Hi Kez
We’re back now with many full bags unpacked and 2 new hanging baskets put up so t was a successful trip.
Apart from the drama going in! I’d just gone in (in my wheelchair) but OH nipped back to car after forgetting the phone. Left the trolley, and this woman tried to take it. OH appeared and said that’s our trolley, and this youngish guy suddenly turned round and said “what did you say to my mum?”.
Well, that was the start! The woman apologised, but the lad-looked about 12 but had a sad looking beard so I presume he wasn’t-stood right in front of my chair and wouldn’t let me past! Looked like he was going to give me a slap, and I said to the “mum” “are you related to that?”. It went downhill from there.
OH told him to jog on, so did I, and eventually he moved. Then we heard them in the shop in another aisle saying if he’d been 5 years younger he’d have taken us both on! Really?? A nearly 64 years woman in a wheelchair? What a tough guy! Then they were saying they were going to get the cctv to show we were threatening them, which was actually hilarious!
If he’d tried to give me a smack, I wouldn’t have fancied his chances-looked like Nyx could have knocked him over! But the red mist would have descended and he’d have been on the floor in about 2 seconds flat, as soon as I’d got out of the wheelchair.
The rest of the trip passed without more drama but I did notice jumbo packs of fig rolls and thought of Ray!
