Hey Cindy!
I had a little different chemo than you (taxol instead of taxotere, plus adriamiacin) but didn't experience any nausea. The premeds they give you will help tremendously. Talk to your chemo nurses. They will be the ones who know what to do if you experience any difficulty or discomfort. Drink lots of water, rest when you need to and wear whatever YOU feel comfortable with on your head! Maybe your son would like to wear your wig! Mine gave it a try!

You will be getting off this "ride" soon.
My best,
