Hi JoB,
I was diagnosed in October 2018 and finished treatment October 2019.
Just started to get out and about again, doing hydrotherapy, seeing friends attending social activities, then Covid19 hit us all.
I was basically self isolating all of 2018 due to treatment, and now again during Covid19.
It sure is a challenge mentally as I had so much planned for this year to do things that I missed out on last year. Didn’t get to book my cruise after treatment as a present to myself, Just as well really...... with what has happened.
Sleep, I’m with you there at the moment, I take one night at a time, I would sleep for 3 hours then be staring at the ceiling, or some nights I feel so tired and I’m still awake hours after getting into bed, I get up and watch tv at all hours of the night until I start falling asleep again then I go back to bed.I have spoken to my GP and she has given me something to help me sleep which has been a god send. I feel I can deal with so much more if I get a good night sleep.
I agree with Afraser about speaking with your GP regarding how you are feeling.

When I get down , I crank the music up, sing and dance, watch a funny movie.
Be kind to yourself, your body has been through so much mentally and physically. XX
