Experiencing a Tough ASCT Recovery?
AI-generated title
I had my ASCT on May 23, 2025, about 6 weeks ago now, and I am still feeling awful. I am very weak and fatigued and feel as though I have been run over by a train with body aches all over my body. My appetite is still poor and I have recently begun vomiting after eating, not every meal but much more frequently than when I first had the transplant. I try to walk and move around but get very winded and have to stop and rest after going a very short distance. My doctor said that it can take 100 days to start feeling better. My blood results are great — white blood cell count, hemoglobin, platelets are all normal. Is what I am going through normal for other people who have had a transplant? I think I expected to start feeling better much and getting on with it much faster and am just wondering what other people’s experience has been. Thank you so much for your feedback.
