@2024fightthefight Your recovery sounds on par with the rest of us who have had a bone marrow transplant. Energy and stamina can ebb and flow. In the first couple of years post transplant I often referred to my energy as that of a puppy. It would come in bursts and I felt I could move mountains for a few days and then, plop…I was wanting to rest on the sofa with a good book for several days. There are adaptations for sure but without the transplant the alternative wasn’t very positive. Happy to hear you’re doing well with no GVHD.
At this point you shouldn’t even be considered ‘sick’. ☺️ Generally speaking, after our transplant, if we go 22 months without a recurrence, statistically the odds of a relapse drop dramatically. Those were mentally liberating words from my transplant team! So if you’re feeling fine, I’d take that as a huge win and keep enjoying your second life to the fullest!
