I'm with Gerri on this one. I had completely forgotten about the constipation, that was probably the worst for me.
My one piece of advice would be, take the anti nausea meds when she's supposed to, even if she feels like she doesn't need them. Be on top of that! Once the nausea hits, it's much harder to control. Also, the third day, after chemo was the worst for me.
I'm sure you both will do just fine, she's very lucky to have you.
Hugs to both of you
