Hello
I got my diagnosis two weeks ago and have Invasive Breast Cancer - Grade 3. My lump is 50mm, which seems huge to me. As soon as I found the lump I went to my GP but I am cross with myself that I didn’t find it earlier. I am now waiting to see the consultant to discuss my surgery. Although I live alone, my friends have been very supportive but I am having trouble sleeping, does anyone have any tips to ease my mind at night.
Thank you xx
Hi
My heart goes out to you and I wish you well
I was diagnosed in August and along with the anxiety of waiting for results the lack of sleep really started to affect my mood. I went to see my GP who was really good and took the time to listen to how I was feeling . I have never been one to take pills and made sure I exercised , no napping, eat well but in the end I accepted his offer of sleeping tablets and diazopan. I do not take this every day/night but when I feel I am at the end of my nerves it is reassuring that I have something I can take. My biggest worry was on top of everything else what would happen if I became addicted… Then I thought I need to take every day as it comes and right now I need to sleep and rest.
All the best

Unfortunately your mind goes into overdrive and sleep becomes a problem. there is no easy answer to your problem. I cut out all tea and coffee and had a milly hot drink before I went to bed.
