I tried all the alternative strategies to help with sleep and none of them worked for me. In the end I used zopiclone, just the low dose of 3.75mg, and got a perfect night's sleep every night.
Michelle I see that medical cannabis is legal in Texas. I use gummies of cannabis for sleep and what a game changer it is. Ask your oncologist about it.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Sleep troubles are really common with breast cancer — you're definitely not alone in this. Many MyBCTeam members have shared how hard it can be to get a good night's rest.
There are several reasons why breast cancer can disrupt sleep, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Pain or nausea from treatment
- Anxiety and Show Full Answer
Michele, breast cancer Is a big adjustment and it unfortunately doesn't happen overnight, not even close. The meds create a lot of issues and the stress certainly does.. I'm not sure if those who have never had cancer can possibly understand the mental and physical issues we handle every single day
It's a lot. By the time we get to bed, we're too tired to sleep and it's almost impossible to relax. The good news is that it realky does get easier. Promise. Talk to your nurse navigator because she may have some really great advice. She is now your new BFF. She can help you with everything. Wishing you the best. Love and hugs!!!!
