There has been some very good tips here above.
I'm here to say, not everyone gets nausea and vomiting with Chemo.
I know that I was one of the lucky ones.
I took one anti-emetic the first time I left the house, just in case.
I had no nausea, and did not take any anti-emetics after that.
I did the Mastectomy, Chemo EC x4 and Taxol x12, R/T x25
It is not like the movies. Even if you are unlucky and do get the N &V, you will be given the drugs you need.
Take them, and report if they do not work, to your Onc or Chemo nurses.
I did have other side effects, but with the advice given, they were all manageable.
I did not lose my hair. I would have with the Chemo I had.
But I used the Cold Cap very successfully. If it is available to you give it a go.
.I recommend Mepitel during R/T, I had no burns.
Ask me any questions, if I can help you. You can do it via private message.
All the best.
