true for breast cancer survivors. One is that by 2 or 3 years after diagnosis, most (but not all) are physically comparable to the general population their age. The other is that younger women do better physically but have a more difficult time emotionally and psychologically, but that older women do worse physically but better emotionally and psychologically. I think some of it is that younger women compare themselves to others their own age and see healthy women, for the most. Older women, on the other hand, compare themselves to women their age and see that so many of them have some sort of health problem -- so when you're older, you've got plenty of company and it doesn't seem so much like you're going through something unusual -- it's just part of getting older.
I don't know if this helps, but I think things will get better for you. It just doesn't feel like it right now. Hang in there!
