That’s tough, particularly when your cancer treatment is going well. I haven’t shared that problem but it’s not unusual, A GP isn’t often the best shot but should refer you for more focussed assistance.

Sleeping pills for a short time may be useful in concert with some assisted investigation of what’s afoot. Friends and family may care but a disinterested professional you can tell anything is worth their weight! Best wishes.
