Hi @starsparkles, and welcome. I 'm glad you've found this site. As with any component of our treatment, we all respond differently. The nausea isn't something I've heard of before, but could it be related to your fatigue? I know when I get overtired, I can get quite queasy.
@JoeyLiz, any thoughts?
As has already been recommended, speak to your treating team about how you're feeling, to let them know, and ask for management strategies.
Please, please don't feel that what you're going through is somehow less. We've all heard those words " you have cancer", nothing lightweight about them. @SoldierCrab has kindly put together some helpful navigation tools to the site, which I'll copy here.

Below are a couple of links to help you find your way around the forum and also how to find a breast care nurse and how to order a MY journey Kit if you haven't got one yet.
It can be a whirlwind when we first get a diagnosed.... Breathe and take it one step at a time.
