Long Term Side Effects on 22 year old :(
Options
hello! I was diagnosed with AML in 2008, had a BMT, and thankfully in remission ever since. So happy! But now suffering with side effects. Im only 22 years old but have been through menopause, and have osteoporosis due to the radiation. Im just having a hard time being so young and dealing with these issues. Its very very negatively affecting my sexual health. I know this is all TMI but I just feel lost. Has anyone been through anything similar?

Dont feel lost
I'm so sorry you are going through this at such a young age. I didnt have leukemia, I had hodgkins lymphoma and was diagnosed a year ago at 29. I too have gone through the same issues that I shouldnt have to deal with for another 15 years but it is a small price to pay to be alive. It is really hard to see the positive especially when its happening to you, but try and keep your glass half full. God Bless and Take Care! Tracie0 -
