Ditto to what everyone else has said here - take your meds before you need them. I had a different regimen (AC followed by Taxol & Herceptin) and never got sick - queasy yes, but that was easily solved by Sprite and saltine crackers. I felt better if I had a little something in my stomach. I had my chemo on Fridays and then back to work on Monday. My anti-nausea meds were Zofran and decadron for the first three days post chemo, then nothing. Since you already know the effects of phenergan maybe your onc will give you something else. I worked full time during treatment, for myself more than anything. Taxol gave me neuropathy big time, but since I also have a desk job I was able to handle it okay - most days. The most important thing to do is listen to your body. If you need to stay home do so.

PinkGirl was right on about the constipation! YIKES! I learned to take a stool softner starting the night before chemo - it helped a lot.

Good luck Terri! You are going to do just fine.
