I had my taxol/herceptin treatments everyother wk. They gave me decodron and benadryl drip before starting the actual chemo. I would sleep through the whole treatment and then go home and sleep until the next day. I felt well enough to work the day after treatment. I never had to use the anti nausea meds with the taxol/ herceptin. I took 4 treatments of adramycin/cytoxin first, I did have to take anti nausea meds with these. I learned real quick to take them before hand. Thought I would be brave the first treatment and did not take them. I was as sick as a dog. Learned my lesson to do as I was told. Best of luck to you.
