Hi Brenda,
First of all I want to mirror everyone else here and say you will do fine. It's scary at first, but you will get through it. We are all pulling for you.
I wanted to question whether you had heard your onc correctly. Tamoxifen or Herceptin should not make you nauseous or loose your hair. Are you sure you are not getting Taxol or Taxotere?? They will cause hair loss and nausea is possible but a lot of women (I was one) just had mild stomach upset, not real nausea.
Good luck!
Donna
