Good luck Evelyn. It is different for everyone. Hope you have someone to help you get through it and be there for you. If they are giving you drugs which they anticipate a nausea, vomiting type response with, please start your anti-emetics before you start feeling ill (we found combo of zofran and emend worked best-zofran alone was not enough, and compazine alone was useless-the manufacturers have programs to help you afford drugs if you cannot them). It is hard to get a handle on it once the sick starts, but if you can manage it from the start, before it really gets you, you will feel much better (although not necessarily well). You may not feel much like eating and drinking after you start but another crucial thing is hydration. It is necessary for us to survive, and can make a huge difference in how you feel. Have needed to hydrate husband several times through this, but the difference between before and after shows you why it is necessary to keep up with fluids. You will be in my prayers, and give a shout if you need anything. Suya
