What is chemotherapy like?

Right now I'm being kept alive with lots of Prednisone, furosemide and lovenox but it's not enough because my lung rejection is steroid-resistant. Soon I'm going to start a round of methotrexate to try putting my disease in remission. Has anyone here been on this chemo before? What was it like? How bad are the side effects? Is my hair going to fall out? Any advice appreciated, thanks

I went through abvd chemo but I don't think that cocktail included any of yours. In my experience the side effects vary greatly by person. They gave me a 50 page book of side effects and said my hair would fall out. I ended up with a side effect that wasn't even in the book and only started noticing some hair loss at the end.

@SooperSarah no it doesn't, none of the meds I'm on already are chemo so far, I haven't started yet. And yeah that sounds about right with medicine, so unpredictable
