Feeling alone and overwhelmed
Only 1 week into actual diagnosis and every morning at about 1-2am I wake up with panic and just cry I’m so tired from this new sleep cycle 😩 The middle of the night brings overwhelming fear of the whole journey ahead. I’m an overthinker which doesn’t help.130ViewsSign in to react to this post4CommentsIs everyone sleeping or just not posting?
Hi there Not sure at what point I go from newly diagnosed (August 2024) to more? Or if I’m no longer considered “new” if I’ve just had surgery early October? Like many others I’ve been busy just getting ready and preparing and being overwhelmed. These few days post surgery at home are the time I can now think. Only I can’t really think, it’s just blank and nights are the worst.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsScanxiety - bone mineral density
Tl;Dr - it’s another 2 am freakout. I'm having a panic into the void. I'm 3 years on from my diagnosis of early breast cancer (hormone positive idc). I went for my routine bone mineral density scan yesterday, and now I'm really frightened. I could see the image as it was being taken, and there was one spot on my spine that seemed much lighter than the surrounding bone. I don't know what a normal scan looks like, but what I saw on the screen has scared the living bejeebers out of me. I’d crawl into bed and stay there waiting for the dreaded call, but I'm in a proper panic and can't sleep. Far out, I hate nights like this.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsReboot

Pain pain go away come again another day laying in bed listening to the thunderstorm raging outside. Instead of the usual ditty it comes out as above I’m at the max of my drugs and my head is spinning and tummy is churning bad night tonight. Matching the weather outside. Sorry for the gripe.

Improving Night-Time Sleep Problems for people with cancer
Earlier this year in May, the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne held their Can-Sleep seminar on Improving Night-Time Sleep Problems for People with Cancer. This seminar was hosted by the Psychology Department at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Following the seminar, the Can-Sleep resource was updated and is now available. Can-Sleep: Making night-time sleep problems go away. A guide for people with cancer.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsGood price on Melatonin
Just went to pick up my script for 5mg melatonin. Had to find a compounding pharmacy but pleasantly surprised that they were only $18 for 30 capsules. This was from HealthSmart at Peter Mac in Melbourne. Also they were dispensed by a robot (the pharmacist wasn't a robot, he grabbed the drugs after they were sucked up and spat out the end of the tube, and acted like it was all totally normal).ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
