By taking to the doc: Give support to her lack of sleep may be due to anxiety, due to her cancer, which is not unusual, speak to her may need medications .She may even need help , you may have to take her to a psychiatrist., it is part of treatment.

Ovarian cancer: The main non-hormonal treatments of menopausal symptoms are Effexor (venlafaxine), Neurontin (gabapentin) and clonidine. Many gyn oncs would also use oral estrogen by itself to treat symptoms.
