Glad to hear you are getting help with the cost of Herceptin, Christine MH-UK!!

Regarding sleep problems... some get caught in the cycle of needing caffeine to kick in to get going when the day starts, but then unable to sleep at the end of the day... Giving it up entirely is hard to do when you are used to that nice hot java, but try it... For something hot in the morning try soy milk... It did take a while for me to get used to the taste. I use unsweetened and then put stevia in it along with baking cocoa and/or some turmeric.

Also I too found initially that melatonin didn't work for sleep--but after taking it every single night for a while it eventually worked for me and now works very well if I take 1 mg about 3/4 of an hour before bedtime.
