Who else can't sleep?

Glad to hear that you're sleeping @arpie.  I've only had a couple of wines since Christmas and not really fancying it at the moment with the chemo taste and tummy.

Hmmmm - I've had 3 half decent sleeps in a row ..... averaging 5-8hrs, so happy with that!!

The only thing I've changed is the red wine that I have most nights!!  I've usually been having Cab Merlots - and then, on price, I changed to Stanley Dolce Rosso (chateau cardboard!!)  (A fairly sweet red wine that initially I didn't really like - but I stuck with it!)  

So it has REALLY surprised me that I've been sleeping so well since changing to it!  I have 2 or 3 glasses with dinner & after .... and it seems to do the trick!  :)  

If you are into having a vino or two .... give it a go!!  ;) 

@Sister-not sure. The troche I take is inserted in my mouth up near back teeth and gradually melts so maybe same or better!

@MoiraC script for staged (?) release pills

@MoiraC I am a list person from way back! I keep a running one on my phone for my doctors. Whenever I think of one it gets jotted down. Changing oncologists has crossed my mind.

Sister -hope the melatonin helps -some people find the pills less helpful. Have you got troches from a compounding chemist? 

Definitely talk about changed symptoms! You can change doctors if not happy though I know this is hard! Good luck with talking about your concerns. Do you find a list helpful and another person with you? 

Thank you @"Kiwi Angel". I'm going to blast her with a list on Monday.

@kmakm. I would be telling her everything they is going in with u. It’s her job to make sure u are comfortable and allay any concerns u might have. I had my first post chemo meeting with my oncologist earlier this week and she was very supportive and wanted to know everything that was going on with me and provided additional medication to make me more comfortable. U should definitely feel like she is in your corner - it’s a major, life changing experience that u are going through. Xoxox

@Sister Can't wait to hear how you get on with the melatonin. Hope it works, good luck!
