Hi Chell,
I have been chewed up and spat out the other side of this torture, so take it from me it can be done. I had 4 fortnightly treatments of AC and then Docetaxal which was supposed to be every 3 weeks but the dose got lowered and I ended up doing it weekly. There are many things for the Nausea i had a drug called Motillium that worked for me.You must remember to take them even if you do not think you need them. But Ginger cookies, ginger ale all things ginger if you can stand it, all work. Lemon lime and bitters is also amazing. If you use propper lemonade and not diet that will help with the sugar and get some into you. Also try powerade. I lived on it for the first 4 treatments(can't even walk past the display now without dry reaching) but at the time it was my saviour. Find a dry biscuit that you like and keep them by your bed, your chair anywhere that you sit or rest and just try to nibble on them whenever you can. Remember it does end it will be over and you will be better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and in your case as in mine it is not a train!
