Hi @Tracey2800 I had my first round of the same chemo you are having on a December 5th. The day after was fine but by the evening of the next day the nausea had set in. I had been given Maxalon but ended up at the GP to get some Zofran which helped a lot more. Still had a few more days of nausea but was able to get back into work for a half day a week later. I have been working half days since then and other than some tiredness later in the day I’m coping ok. I also used the cold cap, have had a bit of hair loss but so far not too bad. I hope everything goes okay for you over the next couple of weeks. My next chemo is 28th December.
