What's chemo like?

Just moving onto day 10 of my first 5day/prophase and 5 day chemo cycle. I'd list all the shit they've given me up I'd have to get up and write it down and that would take away from the morphine I'm on.

I have State 4 NHL, ALK negative, meaning I have a 50% chance of living 5 years on paper, but I'm just a 19 year old kid, my doc likes the way my tumor has responsed so far from barely finishing my first round. My biggest concern is losing my hair.

Expect constipation. I haven't had a good shit since before I was admitted 9 days ago. I'm not kidding, I can only eat, its not at all enjoyable, and I have terrible acid reflux. Expect being awake a lot. It fucking sucks. They have given me Miralax four times and something else twice I forget. I also got my triple omega supplement cleared but that has yet to do shit. I feel disgusting all the time. Luckily I get out tomorrow (sunday) if things go according to plan. I'm going to try to shit and get drunk as fuck as soon as I get home. Still have some oxy stashed from before I was admitted for prophase. It's a weird time right now.
