At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I too didn't have much problems with nausea. Of course I felt queasy on some days after AC (similar to FEC) but I found anything ginger helped a lot with that. Ginger infused tea, ginger ale, even ginger cookies. You'll find that the meds they give you are really excellent nowadays and your oncologist can adjust meds if you need a boost. I wasn't nauseas at all on Docetaxel (similar to Taxol). Hydration is really important too, as said, drink loads of water. I didn't have any problems with mouth sores either. I ate an ice-pol during my infusions which I think helped with that. But do use a mouth wash (alcohol free) or make your own from salt or bicarb, I used it at least twice a day. Biotine gum I found was good too.
As mentioned here before, not knowing is the worst so after your first one, you'll be fine.
