Hi. I go off to sleep easily for 2 hours. Then that’s it. I may go to the toilet but if i try to lie down I feel nauseous & have problems breathing. I need some help

    Hi I’m finding it hard to sleep too, it makes me feel awful

  • Hi  and  and a warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining.

    Sleep during treatment can be a mystery at times. I also had breathing issues due to me cancer presentation so was advised to put blocks under the head end legs of our bed and add an extra pillow and it did help.

    A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey can help a lot.

    This Community is organised into various support groups. Our first list is for our Cancer specific Groups. The second list is for our various our Cancer experience groups where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the above links then choose ‘click to join' or ‘join’ when the page opens in the best groups for your cancer type. You can then introduce yourself, post questions or just  join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.

    Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
