I used to be a funct oning adult and had functional energy levels. Ever since my diagnosis I have intermittently struggled with energy. Now, after chemotherapy I wonder if I'll ever get to a normal activity level. I live alone so I have to take care of myself and my cat. This is the only thing that keeps me going. I am just surviving and I don't see a way out. Sometimes I try to tell myself that I can overcome this obstacle, just add more activities slowly and I'll be back but every day I try and every day is a struggle all the same.

I'm 54 and feel like 80.
