Rina,
Someone mentioned pre-meds. I was prescribed Emmends, to be taken 1 hour before chemo then on the second and third day decadron - one in morining and one at night, as well as the 2nd and 3rd emmends to be taken on the 2nd and 3rd day. Before the chemo they gave me ativan in the iv and decadron as well before they started the A/C. They recommended not to eat anything spicey 3-4 days after chemo as it may upset your stomache. So like somone else mentioned, I didn't have anything citrus or have any tomato products. Of course my family ordered pizza a couple of days after my first chemo, I just ate the crust for fear of the tomato sauce. After a month or so I ventured to try some pizza and I was fine. But things don't taste right, except chocolate seem to taste mostly like it is supposed to.
Your body will have more of a rest having it every three weeks than dense dose. My third treatment was delayed because of pain I was having in my lower abdomen, and my hair seemed to have grow the tiniest bit only to fall out again after my third dose. I found that interesting that that week off produced hair growth.
Anyway... You will do fine. Just make sure you rest.
