@jeffhampton While I was recovering from my SCT, I also thought that I would never put myself through that again. My recovery was brutal and painful slow.

I am over 9 years post transplant. I’m not in the same shape I was before AML diagnosis, but I have come to accept it as my new life. I feel like I’m a different person from the one I was before. My priorities have changed and I appreciate small things more than before. I have recovered well and have been working full time for the last 7 years. My life is very fulfilling and my cancer and transplant journey has given me a new direction in life, which makes me look at all the suffering with some sort of appreciation.

I know you are dealing with day to day pain and limitations that are very discouraging. Keep taking one step at a time towards recovery - you will get better and your life will get better!
