Who else can't sleep?

@kmakm I have my big girl panties firmly on

I did chemo on my own @"Kiwi Angel". Seemed like such a time soak for someone to have to sit there with me.

I'm seeing a specialist breast cancer counsellor and am finding it very helpful. My breast care nurse put me on to her. She's community funded and so is affordable.

@Joannie I’m going by myself but taking a soft toy that has been coming for my hospital stays and appointments. My husband offered to come but I’m hoping to be ok with my book and Netflix. I’m currently watching Everest which is not the most cheerful of movies. Unfortunately not the best crier - when I’m in stressful situations I tend to suck it up to deal with it and bottle everything up. I’m thinking I might do some post chemo counselling sessions as they could be very beneficial

@"Kiwi Angel" Probably a bit of both. Fear of the unknown is not a friend of sleep. See how you go this time and if the steroids are a big insomnia problem you might be able to get some sleeping pills to counteract them. I had permission to take two Temazepam on the nights I had Dex in my system. It helped me get a bit of sleep. I had TC as well and I was a mess before my first. Now I'm on Day 13 of my last cycle! You can do it. Good luck tomorrow & let us know how you get on. K xox

I can’t sleep tonight - don’t know if it is the dex or anxiety about my first treatment tomorrow

All you girls will get passed this stage and you will have compassion for the newbies who will start to go through it ..... 

Hang in there @Sister.

It hurts for me to use my fingers now, including typing on a touch screen  :/  I'm using a haptic pen.  Plus I'm in bed about to snooze because I cannot keep my eyes open. Can't sleep at night, can't stay awake during the day!  :s

Can't even get up the creativity to blog, today - oh well, can't type properly anyway.

Totally agree @Romla. Good to get it out. Also, kudos for being able to explain maths concepts!

They're buried on my phone somewhere @SoldierCrab. In a file called Bad Cancer Poems! I'll delete when I'm ready to let go and move past this... experience.
