Just want to give you words of encouragement. Being the caregiver can be rough, but I will tell you it brought my husband and I closer than ever. I hope that is what comes of your time through this also. I saw that you are a writer, what is it that you write? I too am a writer, mostly articles for magazines. Cancer has given me more than enough ideas and stories..that's for sure.
Like Christine said nausea shouldn't be too horrible this first round, might get a little on day three or four. Eriks best days were always chemo days. Then it sorta went downhill around day three. Keep up the good attitude.
