Good luck. Chemo is no picnic but everyone is different. Some amazing women manage very well.
My advice is to take the medication for nausea, constipation and diarrhea (yes you can have both constipation and diarrhea in the same cycle). If you need more, ask and get it. There are stronger drugs doctors can prescribe.
