I took Decadron the day before, day of and day after my TCH treatments. I also received Kytril as part of my chemo treatment. I didn't have any nausea the first two rounds of treatment and didn't take any anti-nausea meds either. The last two rounds, I was quite nauseated on days 3 and 4 and took Zofran for that. You will probably want to have something on hand "just in case" for a couple of days after treatment. I don't think you will have a problem "day of" because they will most likely have something for nausea in your "cocktail". Ask your nurse if that's true.
