SO sorry to see you here @LDP .... this disease really mucks with the brain even more than the body, i reckon :( 

Call the BCNA Chatline tomorrow on 1800 500 258 to help with coping mechanisms ..... I have not been diagnosed with MBC but my husband was sadly diagnosed with Mets just over 2 years ago, so have first hand experience of dealing with it & how it affects everyone - both family & friends xx. It is tough.

Don't be afraid to look at the use of the 'magic oil' (Medicinal Cannabis Oil) - with your Onc's blessing - as it has helped me with both sleep & pain control of AIs ....  and I believe it is better for you than sleeping tablets. xx

Keeping busy (and learning new skills) is one way of coping .... 'down time' allows your brain to go off onto weird tangents that aren't always helpful :(  Reach out for help too when you need it xx


Take care
