Night Howls

Good luck @Sarnicad - my rads reception was really helpful in trying to arrange times that suited us .... so hopefully yours will be too.  Yep, the last one of the day (or closest to your knock off time) should work well.  All the best with your treatment.

@Flaneuse thanks so much.

@Sarnicad....you can lead a horse to water.....

Thanks for your support on the page. I post a personal story from members every Sunday.  Sunday night is Story Night. I have about 15 stories so far and another 30 or so promised. Seeking more of course.

Wednesday Night is 'Way Back When' night and Friday night is Friday Funnies. Saturday is usually Stats and Facts night.

@JJ70 have liked your Facebook page. It’s mind blowing how many young women are facing BC. Well done supporting such a worthwhile cause

Crap sleep - tried an experiment last night and didn’t take any melatonin or temezapam since I’m off work and can sleep in (in theory). That didn’t work, had a horrible night alternating between being in pools of sweat and then freezing. Decided not to go for a run and try and sleep in again today but despite my husband feeding the cat as soon as he got up the last 2 mornings she has proceeded to whinge at me while he is in the shower

@JJ70 I also liked your Facebook page

I'm having the change of season blanket battles; my bedroom looks like a Sheridan outlet after a ram raid. All season doona, summer weight quilt, waffle blankets, mink blankets, flannelette sheets, smooth sheets....nothing is right. Arghhh!

@Kiwi Angel...awesome thank you! Share it around as well for me to interested friends and also keep sharing posts that interest you. The more numbers we have, the better the case to government.

After a few nights of great sleep apparently I’m back to being awake at 3:30 again. Typical just in time for me to go back to work - part time with limited hours, I’ll be a zombie at this rate!

@Sarnicad Maybe work will make you tired enough that sleep will become easier. Good luck with returning to work. You're on your way to getting your life back.

I think I will be taking a temazapam tonight - first day back at work tomorrow since early December and I'm feeling anxious enough without taking a risk of no sleep as well.  I seem to be doing a "one night on, one night off" lately.  On one hand, I can't believe that it's been almost a year since that appointment and on the other, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Good luck tomorrow @sister. Being back at work, scary as it may be, changes your world. For the better.

All the best for your first day back tomorrow, @Sister - go with the flow - but pace yourself.  It will empower you. xx

I hope all goes smoothly for you & that you get a good night's sleep tonight (even with the temase.)  I took one last night - got sick of looking at the ceiling for hours!!  

Yes, I am coming up for 12 months since detection as well ... yep, definitely a lifetime away and an ocean of tears & fears!    I am getting the mammogram & ultrasound done again .... so will be happy when that is over.  Then 1 year checkup appointment with the surgeon in Jan!

Thanks @zoffiel @arpie.  My rational brain says it will all be okay but the irrational one...?  Well, let's say that a least I should remember where I need to go, even if I don't know anything else.  The psych thinks I'm too used to being high-functioning (hah!) and that I'm expecting too much from myself.  I've got an appointment with her on Tuesday afternoon so at least I'll be able to debrief!

And yes, I have to admit that the thought of the scan in November is sitting in the back of my mind, waving at me every now and then.

@Sarnicad I hope your return to work goes smoothly. Even if you're tired, I suspect it will give you a bit of solid substance on which you can start to restructure your new life. All the best.
