I just had my first round of chemo sat and I honestly dont know how im suppose to feel. But for the most part I feel fine its just my stomach has not stopped hurting since April 27th 2026. I was severely constipated when I was first admitted (i hadnt had a bowel movement in days) but then they finally got my bowels to start moving and that lessened the pain. But im still having harsh stomach pains and I dont know if im still constipated or if its due to the chemo or the stool softener or the other poop meds they're giving me. All I know its been over a week since I've had a calm pain free stomach. Has anybody dealt with this during their first round of chemo? If so how did you get your stomach to stop hurting? My stomach hurts so bad its putting me in the mind frame of "I dont think I can do 5 more rounds of chemo". I know Hodgkins lymphoma is very treatable but this stomach pain is making me not want to go threw it. Any advice? Im new to this.

Today I get my first round of chemo around 1130 am. Im stage 3 and will be receiving N-AVD treatment. My anxiety is thru the roof because I dont know what to expect from this treatment. I know chemo effects everybody differently but im low key terrified of how it will effect me. Did anybody else deal with anxiety paranoia and was scared before their first treatment?
