Greg,
I had 2 cycles pre-transplant and 6 post. My pattern was that I would be fine for the first 2 weeks, and at about day 13-16 I would see my WBC and platelets crash with minimal impact on RbC/HGB. I would get really tired for a couple of days, and then recovery started. Overall, it was extremely tolerable. The constipation thing was not a big deal for me, and for the post-transplant I was on about 200mg of oxycontin for part of the time, so i was really testing my body's limits for drug-induced bowel issues. I did tend to eat a lot of the clementine oranges and cooked dark greens during this time though.
Good luck with the treatment. May it be effective and easy.
Dan
