My first chemo was out patient but the second 2 were rather quick so they just kept me in the hospital for the week I did them. The first one was during 2014 summer in San Diego. I was commuting an hour by the bus plus school plus walking in that heat and humidity. Imagine my comfort levels hahaha.

I don't know the exact mix. It was a cocktail of 4 for the first and then a cocktail of 3 for the second 2. If that helps at all.

Yeah seems like a week of giga strong stuff and then petering it off for the remaining weeks of a cycle is common, my first week was the full 5 days of chemo and then the following weeks have been once a week, I think the cisplatin from my first week is considered fairly harsh stuff, and the follow up weeks are bleomycin which seem less hellacious.

Looks like Hodgkins Lymphoma has a ton of variations on chemo drugs, looks way less basic and standardized than testicular cancers chemo cycle
