I am, day 80ish after stem cell transplant things are starting to return to normal, hairs growing back (in some places that's not wanted too like ears), fitness is slowly returning. We are confident that it has worked and the NHL Tcell has gone from previous scans but had to finish course of treatment to be doubly sure. I have been off work for about a year now due to the type of work I do and the low immune system through chemo.

Why then is my mental well being dropping, tear up at anything happy or sad? I have a hopeless feeling, struggle to get off the settee and do something, and fear going back to work. Over sensitivity is now affecting family life at home and friends.
