wondered if anyone had any advice re insomnia, I've tried everything.. feeling anxious tonight and so tired everyone asleep except me at 3 am, no sleep so far snd up in 3 hours!
Any advice welcome please ?

I couldn't sleep the first few days on docetaxel so asked my GP for sleeping tablets, which did the trick. I only used them maybe once or twice each cycle but it was great to get a night's sleep.
