I started spotting. I call my primary first day it happened. She referred me to a GYN. It took a month to get into the GYN. The GYN did a biopsy. That's when I learned I had cancer. It's not in the family. I'm just the lucky one.
I did drive during treatments. I didn't have many physically bad day.
I started having sleep issues in 2020. I was traveling for work every week and sleep was difficult. When I stopped traveling I still couldn't fall asleep plus my husband was a horrible snorer. I would take ibuprofen just before bed and that relaxed me enough to sleep. After a divorce my daughter and I moved into the house where I live now. I just couldn't stop thinking and sometimes I would be up most the night.
I've been working on sleep for about 2 1/2 years. I've been in therapy trying to reduce my anxiety. It helped but I still have sleepless nights. I'm not completely sure why I'm sleeping well now. Maybe I'm just exhausted from treatments or the anti anxiety meds I started taking have helped. I going to bed and falling asleep and staying asleep. It's awesome.
Last night I did turn to the Internet again. I don't know why. There is nothing know for me to learn. Old habit I guess.
