You've heard this many times before but each of us recover differently due to the many variables that go into our Tx and recovery equation. My best advice for you is to stop worrying about how you will "end up" and just let it happen. I am now 19 months post Tx and I may be finished (?) but I really don't have much say in that regard now. Just keep doing all the healthy things you can for yourself and your body will do the rest.
