Hey there. As a four round chemo survivor now in remission I wanted to wish you the best of luck and pass along some great advice that a fellow redditor gave me when I started my ordeal. me8myself's tips (which I've annotated) helped me get through it and maybe they will be of some help for you. Course these are mostly inpatient stuff, but they may be helpful even if you aren't spending all your time in a hospital room.

Always complement your Nurse's/Doctors. Every time they come in do anything, complement them, or thank them. If they're hanging something or doing something in the room that doesn't take much concentration try to have a conversation with them Anything to try and get them to be your buddy. I found the one you made a friendship with would show up more and come when you really needed them, as opposed to those who took a disliking to you.

Seriously, getting in good with the nurses is the best thing you can do.

Always have treats in your room, not for you but for the people who come in (nurses, doctor, visitors) so you can offer them. Again because they are more inclined to show up. Maybe on their break they might come in for a conversation, and that helps to keep you occupied which is good.

I kept mini candy bars in my emesis bowl (vomit bowl), it was amusing and tasty.

You'll have lots of problems in the room, some you can solve yourself. You don't want to be the person constantly ringing the bell, it kinda becomes a boy who cries wolf situation if you are.

You're going to be in there for about a while, try and get people in your room daily (friends and family).

But make sure they come when you want them, not when they want to.

Bring your own salt and pepper... hospital food doesn't taste that great.

Really, if you can, get food from outside as much as possible. If you are neutropenic (restricted diet) home cooking will be a life saver.

Don't be afraid to ask for pain meds.

Seriously. You've got the port, use it. There is literally no reason you should be more uncomfortable then chemo and cancer are already making you.

Leave your self respect at the door. You'll have to do stuff for the betterment of your health that you probably wont want to talk about.

Hope you don't mind the wall of text, and again, good luck and well wishes.
