Hi Vickij - Congratulations on your 3 year re-birthday!!

Not being quite a year out yet from my transplant- its inspiring to hear stories of others who are still plugging away at life years after transplant.

Sorry its been difficult for you - but great you don't have GVHD. Fatigue and depression often go hand in hand and can be difficult - sounds like you are able to draw strength from your faith and loved ones - which should help you through dark times. Hopefully as you gain strength and energy you will fell less depression. For me, the transplant experience is a big lesson in learning patience.

I had been prone to mild depression most of my life - Now when I find myself thinking negative thoughts and on the brink of despair I remind myself of all the people who helped me through the transplant - from my donor, doctors, nurses and family to people I hardly knew who have told me they were praying for me -it helps change my focus from sadness to gratitude -

Stay well and stay strong. You'll be in my prayers.

Best wishes,
Paul
