Hi Nicole,
I too had FEC and Docetaxel like Deanne, and every time my side effects were different. I was also more nauseous with the FEC. The best advise I could give you is to drink lots of fluid, while your having chemo and for the next 2 - 3 days. After about my second chemo I couldn't stand the taste of water so I had a little cordial in it. My oncologist nurse told me it's best for the drug to get in, do it's job and get out as quickly as possible, so flushing your system is important. I found that eating helped with my nausea, that and the green lid tablets. Just make sure you tell your oncologist about all your symptoms so that they can help you.
All the best xx
