Hi Terri B
I would definitely take the anti-nausea meds. I am
also someone who does not usually get nausea or vomit
but I wouldn't chance it with chemo. I did not vomit but
I had some nausea even with the meds.

The anti-nausea meds did not knock me out, they gave me
major, super-duper constipation. This is also something that
you shouldn't wait for.

As for working, everyone is different. Some continue to
work and some are either in bed or on the couch. You'll
have to wait and see how the drugs affect you.

You have such a great attitude, I know you're going to
be fine and deal with whatever pops up. Good luck with
all of it and keep the questions coming.
