There are a few things I would do to prepare for chemo treatment. First, get a supply of antinausea medication and take it from the very beginning. With the chemo treatment as a followup to the Whipple Procedure, antinausea medication makes the treatment an irritation, not a crisis.
Take your enzymes faithfully, with everything and that might include iced tea. Stay away from generic brands of the enzymes. I had better luck with the name brand enzymes.
Try to stay warm. Take a blanket, sweater, coat with you even if it is a 100 degrees outside.
Ask about your 19-9 markers. Get copies of all medical records.
Be aware that some side effects may not show up until after the treatment has ended and may also last for a month or two.
You will be tired. Get plenty of sleep.
Use the shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment called Nioxin. You can purchase this product at salons. It will remove the chemicals from the hair and it may help prevent hair loss.
Most importantly, make yourself number 1.
