It's been 2 years since my stem cell transplant and I still don't feel right. I know I'll never be like I was before cancer, but I still get alot of achiness and soreness in my body and alot of fatigue. In addition , I'll probably be on meds for the rest of my life. I have been out of work since I first had cancer which was about 3 and a half years ago, I had a recurrence, and then the transplant. It feels like I will never get back to working or leading a normal life. It is also very difficult being a younger person(28) and not really being able to find any type of support groups for people my age. In addition I have to see stuff on T.V. all the time about people who recover and run hundred mile marathons, meanwhile I'm still not back to work. It can seem sometimes like society doesn't want to deal with the fact that that type of stuff is uncommon. It's also extremely hard to go from constant Dr. care to appts. every 6 months or so. Any input you guys have is appreciated.
